Demand Derivatives
Demand Derivatives is the holding company for a soon to be transformational suite of U.S.-regulated derivatives entities: a futures exchange, swap execution facility, and clearing house. Built on a customer first, fiduciary culture, the company is preparing to launch futures contracts with a guaranteed stop and daily-expiring options with a delayed strike, both designed to eliminate all defaults, guarantee every payment, and instantly clear each trade — all while preserving typical futures style leverage. Demand Derivatives expects to list on the top underlying assets across all major asset classes through its dollar denominated and gold denominated divisions. Additional derivatives are based on realized volatility and global country indices. Crafted from decades of market intelligence harvesting, these novel instruments are unmatched by any marketplace today.

Frequently asked questions
What entities does Demand Derivatives operate?
The firm is structured as a holding company with three proposed regulated entities: RealFutures Exchange (a U.S.-regulated futures exchange), RealSwap Execution Facility (a U.S.-regulated swap execution facility for Eligible Contract Participants), and RealClear Clearing House (a U.S.-regulated clearing house for both futures and swap transactions). All three are stated as subject to CFTC and SEC approval, per the firm's website.
What novel instruments does Demand Derivatives plan to list?
The platform's core instruments are RealStop futures and swaps — contracts with an embedded and guaranteed stop-loss limit — and RealDay options and swaptions, which are delayed-strike daily options with limited risk and close-to-close coverage. The firm also publishes reference indices, including the RealVol suite of realized-volatility measures on 40 assets and the RealGlobe suite of 40 country indices.
How does Demand Derivatives address counterparty risk?
The firm's design goal is to eliminate payment defaults and guarantee every payment through its integrated RealClear Clearing House structure, paired with instant trade clearing. The RealStop instrument embeds a guaranteed stop-loss that limits maximum loss per contract, while RealDay options use a delayed-strike mechanism designed to offer perfect close-to-close coverage with limited risk.
What is the regulatory status of the platform?
Demand Derivatives states on its website that all entities — RealFutures, RealSwap, and RealClear — are subject to CFTC and SEC approval. The firm has not published any approval dates, pending applications, or specific regulatory milestones, and no CFTC or SEC filings for these entities were identified in the sources reviewed.
Does Demand Derivatives manage capital or operate as a family office?
No. Demand Derivatives is a pre-launch exchange and market infrastructure holding company, not an asset manager or family office. It does not disclose any AUM, managed accounts, or investment vehicles. Its business model is to operate a regulated trading venue and clearing house, earning revenue from transaction fees rather than from managing capital.
