AO Advisory on Risks Associated with Expansion of DCO Clearing of Digital Assets

Advisory that encourages entities using prime brokerage arrangements that provide credit substitution on a centralized basis to examine the specific nature of their activities for the potential need to register as a derivatives clearing organization (DCO).

DCR is providing time-limited relief from the swap clearing requirement and related exceptions and exemptions. This relief is to help facilitate the orderly transition from swaps that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to swaps that reference alternative benchmarks. (ARRC No-Action Relief Extension Request)
