Implementing Mandatory Treasury Clearing: Infrastructure, Risk Management, and Repo Post-Trade

The US Treasury clearing mandate—31 December 2026 for cash trades, 30 June 2027 for repos—represents the most significant market structure change in decades. This panel explores the operational, technical, and risk management challenges firms face as they prepare for mandatory central clearing. Clearing houses, custodians, and dealers will discuss infrastructure buildout, margin segregation requirements, repo post-trade workflows, and liquidity transformation. With early implementations underway, what lessons are emerging? Where do firms need to focus resources to meet compliance deadlines without market disruption?

Blockchain, Digital Assets, and the Tokenisation of Securities Finance

The securities finance industry is undergoing a fundamental digital asset transformation.

The discussion will cover emerging use cases in crypto-native lending markets, the regulatory frameworks taking shape, and how tokenisation is unlocking liquidity and operational efficiencies across the securities finance value chain.
