  • 2020-26527 — Exemption From Derivatives Clearing Organization Registration
    💰
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 949
    Reading Time:about 2 hours

    The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has established rules for exempting certain foreign derivatives clearing organizations (DCOs) from the registration requirement, as long as these organizations are subject to comprehensive supervision by their home country's regulator. These exemptions allow the foreign DCOs to clear swaps for U.S. persons' own accounts but not for customers, ensuring that U.S. market participants have more options. The CFTC is adopting this final rule, which sets out the procedures for obtaining an exemption, the conditions that must be met, and the reporting requirements needed to maintain the exemption. The regulation aims to promote international cooperation and market efficiency while maintaining important regulatory standards.

    Simple Explanation

    The CFTC has made a rule that lets some foreign money-handling companies clear certain trades for Americans without having to register in the U.S., as long as they are watched closely by their own country. This helps ensure there are more choices for trading, but they still have to follow important rules to stay safe and fair.
