      Terry Duffy, CME Group Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said: "Demand for CME Group benchmark futures and options reached an all-time high in Q2 as clients around the globe turned to our markets to manage their business risks across asset classes. During the quarter, our average daily volume rose 16% to a record 30.2 million contracts, driving double-digit growth and setting new records for revenue, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share. Notably, the number of new retail traders at CME Group increased 57% year over year, contributing to record Micros ADV of 4.1 million contracts in Q2 and demonstrating the appeal of our products to a broader base of users."
       

      Clearing and transaction fees generated $1.4 billion in revenue during the second quarter, with the total average rate per contract standing at $0.690. Market data revenue contributed $198 million to the quarterly results.

      The surge in retail participation proved particularly notable, with new retail traders increasing by 57% compared to the previous year. This growth contributed to record Micros average daily volume of 4.1 million contracts during the quarter.
       

      As of 30 June 2025, CME Group maintained $2.2 billion in cash, including $200 million deposited with Fixed Income Clearing Corporation. The company carries $3.4 billion in debt and paid approximately $3.0 billion in dividends during the first half of the year.
       

      Since implementing its variable dividend policy in early 2012, CME Group has returned $29.1 billion to shareholders through dividend payments.
