Abaxx Exchange, a wholly owned subsidiary of Abaxx Technologies, continues to set new LNG trading volume records with its LNG Futures contracts.
On April 7, Abaxx Exchange reached a new single-day exchange-wide volume record of 36,314 contracts.
Moreover, Abaxx’s Gulf of Mexico LNG (GOM FOB) contract reached a new single-day volume record of 2,894 contracts on April 14, while total LNG ADV increased 76 percent in the last 30 trading days versus the first quarter of 2026.
Abaxx’s three LNG benchmarks, introduced in June 2024, were designed to close structural gaps in market design and support participants managing delivered cargo exposure and regional pricing risk.
All contracts are USD-denominated, 10,000 MMBtu futures, with the GOM Futures contract listed on an FOB basis while the NPA and NWE contracts are listed on a DAP basis across their respective delivery regions.
Abaxx Exchange recognized by ACER
In addition to reaching record volumes, Abaxx Exchange has registered as an Organised Market Place (OMP) with the European Union Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) as of April 8, 2026.
This registration enables Abaxx Exchange to meet reporting obligations under the European Union’s Regulation on Wholesale Energy Market Integrity and Transparency (EU REMIT).
Also, the EU REMIT framework (Regulation (EU) No. 1227/2011) establishes requirements for transparency and integrity in wholesale energy markets.
As amended by EU REMIT II (Regulation (EU) No. 1106/2024), the framework introduces a mandatory registration requirement for Organised Market Places and standardized reporting requirements for trading activity on such venues.
Abaxx’s OMP registration will provide European market participants access to the only physically deliverable LNG futures contract linked to regional import flows, in compliance with EU REMIT, ahead of updated reporting requirements in 2026.
This compliance framework extends to any future products introduced by Abaxx Exchange which may fall within the scope of EU REMIT, including derivatives related to electricity, hydrogen, and natural gas, as well as their transportation and storage within the European Union, if and when such products are listed.
Abaxx Exchange has engaged Equias, the largest Registered Reporting Mechanism for REMIT compliance, to provide reporting services to its market participants.
