The SEC has finalized new rules mandating the central clearing of a broader range of U.S. Treasury securities transactions, expanding the scope beyond current practices. These rules introduce significant compliance and operational demands on clearing brokers.
FITS Consulting is prepared to assist firms in assessing, planning, and implementing the necessary process and system changes required to meet the new mandates while ensuring minimal business disruption. We support clients in conducting impact assessments, developing collateral optimization strategies, updating margin models, and integrating central clearing flows into daily operations to maintain compliance and liquidity efficiency.
Market infrastructure is evolving as firms evaluate tokenization, digital assets, and new settlement frameworks. These developments are changing how assets are issued, recorded, transferred, and safeguarded while introducing new regulatory, custody, liquidity, and operational considerations.
Tokenized and digital asset models raise questions around recordkeeping, custody structures, supervisory frameworks, and integration with traditional brokerage and clearing environments.
Settlement cycles are also evolving, with movement toward faster settlement in some areas and flexible or extended cycles in others to support liquidity and risk management.
FITS Consulting assists firms assessing these changes through a practical, regulatory first lens. We support impact assessments, governance design, and operational readiness planning so firms can adapt while maintaining strong controls, resiliency, and investor protection.
Our focus is on balancing innovation with risk management, regulatory alignment, and operational reality.
