Eurex Clearing Readiness Newsflash | Frozen Zones for Simulation and Production launch in 2025

Dear customer,

With this Newsflash, Eurex Clearing announces the scheduled frozen zones in preparation for the Simulation and Production launches of the Eurex Clearing Releases in 2025.

An up-to-date timetable can be found on our dedicated Initiatives page in the following location:

Support > Initiatives & Releases

The frozen zones are mandatory to ensure a smooth introduction of new software on a stable data basis.

Simulation: 

Production: 

* For Eurex Clearing, no new member setup and member reference data modifications to be considered. Exceptions to be considered case to case, depending on system impact.
 

Important Information on Onboarding Activities and Restrictions

General Restrictions:

During the above-mentioned time periods, unless otherwise stated, it is prohibited to execute any processes in the simulation or production environments that involve changes to reference data for Clearing Members and clients. 

This includes account changes, product maintenance, Clearer changes, Member or user changes, cancellation of membership, new membership, and static data updates. Please note that the timelines provided are indicative, and Clearing Members are strongly encouraged to factor in these timelines, particularly for client onboarding activities.
 

EurexOTC Clear and PRISMA Releases: Impact on OTC IRS Onboarding Activities:

EurexOTC Clear and PRISMA Releases will impact the processing of OTC IRD-related onboarding requests (only applicable for production) and must be considered when planning new onboardings. 

During the Frozen Zone, the following onboarding activities for OTC IRS will not be supported:

• New Disclosed Client with Member ID
• New Fund Manager (FM) with Member ID
• New Fund(s) under an existing FM
• New DC in A-Account of the Clearing Member
• New FCM Client

Frozen Zones with No Impact on OTC IRD Onboarding:

Frozen Zones related to the C7 SCS Releases do not affect OTC IRD-related onboarding requests.

CBPR + Considerations:

The impact of CBPR+ varies on a case-by-case basis (e.g., in the case of new cash accounts).

Recommendations:

• Clearing Members are advised to apply for any changes or new setups well in advance of the Frozen Zone or wait until the period concludes.
• Buy-side client onboardings can still be initiated at any time using the Client Onboarding Tool (C7 CAS). The Onboarding team will confirm the go-live date for such requests.

If you have questions or comments, please send an e-mail to client.services@eurex.com.

Kind regards,
Your Client Services Team
