The ISDA-Clarus RFR Adoption Indicator increased to an all-time high of 46.4% in June 2022 compared to 46.0% the prior month. The indicator tracks how much global trading activity (as measured by DV01) is conducted in cleared over-the-counter and exchange-traded interest rate derivatives (IRD) that reference the identified risk-free rates (RFRs) in six major currencies. On a traded notional basis, the percentage of RFR-linked IRD comprised 39.8% of total IRD in June compared to 38.6% the prior month.

Key highlights for June 2022 include:
