DTCC to Expand Global Trade Repository Service with MiFID/R Reporting

Subscribe to our newsletter

The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) has announced plans to introduce a Markets in Financial Instruments Directive/Regulation (MiFID/R) Approved Reporting Mechanism (ARM) service within its Global Trade Repository (GTR). Pending regulatory approval, the service is set to launch in the UK by Q1 2026 and in the EU in alignment with forthcoming regulatory changes.

The new MiFID/R ARM service will support firms in meeting transaction reporting obligations, offering data quality analytics, smart monitoring tools, and exception management features. It will also include a back-reporting channel with queuing and in-sequence processing, along with end-of-day reports for issue resolution. As the only industry-owned global trade reporting provider, DTCC’s GTR will now integrate derivatives and securities trade reporting, enabling firms to enhance cost efficiency, governance, and operational risk management through a unified platform.
