The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) issued the following statement:
"We are pleased that the SEC took action to approve FICC's rule filings related to access models and segregated accounts & margin. With these approvals, we are now ready to advance our implementation efforts with the industry, in preparation for next year's deadlines.
We're also appreciative of all of the comments and perspectives that the industry has shared with us on a range of matters, including default management, done away and porting. Additional work remains as we get ready for implementation, and we are committed to ensuring we deliver the best solutions with the best value for the industry.
The expansion of US Treasury clearing is a significant industry-wide effort that promises to deliver critical benefits to the industry, including increased transparency and reduced risk. We will continue to work closely with our clients and key stakeholders on ensuring safe, smooth and successful implementations in 2025 and 2026."
