Clear Street Accelerates Product Roll Out

Launches Cross-Margin and Enhanced Risk Management Capabilities

NEW YORK – March 10, 2025 – Clear Street, (“Clear Street,” “the Company”), a cloud-native financial technology firm on a mission to modernize the brokerage ecosystem, today announced the roll out of OCC Cross-Margin capabilities, allowing futures and options traders to consolidate margin requirements and improve capital efficiency. OCC Cross-Margin capabilities were launched in anticipation of increased client demand.

Clear Street’s modern technology infrastructure allows for rapid product build and roll outs, always driven to empower clients with best-in-class products, tools and teams to navigate capital markets around the world.

Jon Daplyn, COO of Clear Street, said, “The launch of OCC Cross-Margin capabilities is a testament to the speed and agility of our technology stack. Our team worked around the clock to make it happen, giving our customers the tools they need for their businesses.”

Clear Street’s expansion into OCC Cross-Margin reflects its commitment to providing solutions that address real-world client challenges. The OCC Cross-Margin product helps clients bridge their Futures and Equity Index Options trading activity, creating greater efficiency in risk management and capital deployment. Clients have already begun leveraging the feature to enhance their trading strategies.

Traditionally, active market participants have relied solely on large banks for cross-margin and complex, active trading strategies. Clear Street is changing that paradigm, having launched the first full-service FCM with these sophisticated capabilities in over a decade.

Chris Smith, CEO of Clear Street Futures, stated, “Clear Street Futures clients are already leveraging our cross-margin capabilities, and the initial feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. We’re excited to offer this solution to eligible customers seeking to optimize their VIX Futures and E-Mini S&P Futures and Options portfolios.”

Smith said, in closing, “This is just the beginning - our teams are focused on expanding our offerings and delivering best-in-class solutions that empower our clients to trade more efficiently and manage risk effectively.”
