The U.S. Treasury market is moving to mandatory central clearing to strengthen market resilience, transparency, and risk management. Banks, broker-dealers, and institutional participants must adapt their trading models, operating structures, and technology to remain compliant and competitive.
U.S. Treasury Clearing requires eligible cash and repo transactions to be centrally cleared through a CCP, primarily the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (FICC). Once cleared, the CCP becomes the legal counterparty, introducing margining, netting, and default management mechanisms.
