DTCC issued the following statement:
The SEC recently issued rule amendments around its 2022 expanded U.S. treasury clearing proposal, bringing added regulatory clarity around the scope of the clearing requirements and implementation timelines. The final rules require a significantly larger portion of the U.S. Treasury cash and repo markets - specifically certain eligible secondary market transactions - to be centrally cleared by December 31, 2025 for cash transactions and June 30, 2026 for repo transactions. As a covered clearing agency, FICC will take the necessary steps as required under the amendments to prepare for this significant initiative.
DTCC remains committed to supporting the industry and providing solutions that enable compliance with the expanded treasury clearing rule. We are prepared for this significant undertaking and will continue to evolve our access models and enhance capital efficiency whenever possible to effectively support our clients. At the same time, we will continue to facilitate industry discussions and provide education and leadership around this important topic, as we work together towards a successful implementation.
