    The Depository Trust Company (DTC) submitted a proposal to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to issue up to $3 billion in senior notes. The goal is to enhance DTC's liquidity by having more cash available in case a participant fails to meet their financial obligations. This idea aims to make DTC less reliant on existing credit resources and better prepared to meet its liquidity needs. The SEC reviewed the plan and concluded that it aligns with financial stability goals and risk management standards, thus posing no objections to the proposal.

    Simple Explanation

    The Depository Trust Company wants to borrow up to $3 billion by selling special notes (called senior notes) to have extra money ready just in case someone can't pay what they owe, and the people in charge at the SEC said they're okay with this plan because it helps keep money safe and stable.

  • 2024-30520 — Self-Regulatory Organizations; Fixed Income Clearing Corporation; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend the Clearing Fund Maintenance Fee of MBSD and GSD

    The Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (FICC) has proposed changes to the way it calculates Maintenance Fees for its Mortgage-Backed Securities Division (MBSD) and Government Securities Division (GSD). Starting January 1, 2025, instead of charging a fee only on the cash deposit balance, FICC will calculate the fee based on the total Required Fund Deposit while lowering the fee rate from 0.25% to 0.085%. This change aims to encourage members to deposit more cash by removing disincentives, potentially enhancing FICC's liquidity. Although the change is intended to be revenue neutral for FICC, different members might see increases or decreases in their fees depending on their deposit sizes and risk profiles.

    Simple Explanation

    FICC is changing how they charge a fee for keeping track of money that people store with them. Starting in 2025, they'll look at how much total money is required to be kept safe instead of just cash, and they're making the fee smaller to maybe encourage people to keep more money there, which is supposed to be fair for everybody.
