SEC enhances support for US Treasury central clearing
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has intensified efforts to assist broker-dealers and other market participants in transitioning to central clearing of US Treasury securities. To support this, the SEC has launched a dedicated webpage providing status updates, staff statements, FAQs, and related regulatory materials.
Although the Treasury clearing rule changes were adopted in December 2023, compliance dates have been extended, reflecting the SEC’s commitment to deliberate, disruption-free implementation. Commissioner Mark T. Uyeda, leading the initiative, emphasised the agency’s focus on “getting implementation right” and ensuring a smooth transition.
Uyeda highlighted the collaborative effort, noting that SEC staff are working closely with other federal financial regulators and a broad range of market participants to operationalise the Treasury clearing rule effectively.
The webpage serves as a one-stop resource, offering guidance on interpretive and operational questions, and includes answers to FAQs on the applicability of the rule to general collateral triparty repos, also known as mixed CUSIP triparty repos. Additionally, it hosts filings from entities seeking registration as clearing agencies and proposed rule changes submitted by self-regulatory organisations related to Treasury clearing.
By centralising information and updates, the SEC aims to enhance clarity, transparency, and efficiency for market participants during the transition to centrally cleared US Treasury securities.
