Tradeweb Launches Multi-Asset Package Trading for USD-denominated Swaps
Tradeweb Markets Inc has launched multi-asset package trading for USD-denominated swaps. The announcement came after the first fully electronic multi-asset package trade execution on Tradeweb’s swap execution facility. The trade was completed between Barclays and a global hedge fund.
What Tradeweb has Launched
The new functionality lets institutional clients execute multiple USD-denominated instruments in a single electronic transaction. It includes interest rate swaps, inflation swaps, and government bonds. All are packaged together within one trade on Tradeweb’s SEF platform. This feature is for institutions trading large and complex risk positions that previously required multiple executions across different products.
Features of the Multi-asset Package
The multi-asset package trading functionality enables:
- simultaneous execution of interest rate swaps, inflation swaps, and government bonds
- trading within a single electronic workflow
- access to deeper liquidity pools on one marketplace
- improved transparency and execution efficiency
All trades are executed electronically on the Tradeweb swap execution facility.
Why this Matters for Institutional Trading
Tradeweb reduces execution risk that can arise when trades are split across instruments and time by multiple asset classes trading together. Institutional clients can package large baskets of risk and execute them with greater control and simplicity. Also, it supports smarter analytics and more efficient price discovery by bringing related instruments into a single transaction.

- fully electronic request-for-market swaption package trades
- fully electronic swap compression trades
