Alpaca Secures OCC and FICC Memberships to Power Multi-Asset Self-Clearing for Partners

Alpaca, a self-clearing broker-dealer and brokerage infrastructure company, has been approved as a clearing member by The Options Clearing Corporation and the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, enhancing its capacity to provide comprehensive and real-time access to U.S. capital markets. This development builds on Alpaca's existing capabilities for clearing U.S. equities via the DTCC, enabling the company to offer seamless access to various financial instruments, including stocks, ETFs, options, and fixed income products, through its API-first brokerage infrastructure. The approvals allow Alpaca to operate independently from third-party clearing brokers, granting it full control over the trading lifecycle and enhancing the services it can offer to its global partners. These partnerships reinforce Alpaca's status as a full-stack brokerage infrastructure, further supported by its recent launch of U.S. listed options and Treasuries offerings, which align with its mission to democratize financial services worldwide. Additionally, Alpaca has raised significant funding from global investors and provides both brokerage and crypto services, although it cautions about the inherent risks associated with options and fixed income trading.
