DTCC's settlement DLT went live summer of 2022. They announced blockchain system April 2025. 🙄. You know something's fishy about it when DTCC excludes ETFs with exposure to Bitcoin from the list of acceptable collateral.
tftc.io
The DTCC's new rule, effective April 30, 2024, disallows Bitcoin and other digital asset ETFs from being used as collateral.
@SusanneTrimbath Thought on the markets trending towards blockchain?.

Why are people still surprised to find high levels of FTDs in ETFs? It's a well-documented fact:."ETFs constitute 10% of U.S. equity market capitalization but over 20% of short interest & 🚨78% of failures-to-deliver"🚨! (R.B. Evan's, 2018, "ETF Short Interest and FTDs").
The ETF, IWM, which tracks russell had $2.4 BILLION in fails on july 18th. wtf?. @SusanneTrimbath @kshaughnessy2

"no company can innovate and grow while the sharks are circling, waiting to take them down.".
@SusanneTrimbath @Chefedogg Making America Great Again is all grandstanding and empty words unless the markets are brought into line as no company can innovate and grow while the sharks are circling, waiting to take them down. I don't understand why this isn't the starting point for the "Golden Era.".

A few words to the wise: if you buy shares of US companies on non-US stock exchanges, you MAY NOT get SEC protection (for whatever that's worth). BUT if you buy a share of a foreign company on a US stock exchange, you may get SEC protection. It is worth your time to check that.

Ratified on August 18, 1920, the 19th amendment legally guarantees American women the right to vote. Achieving this milestone required a lengthy and difficult struggle—victory took decades of agitation and protest.

@SusanneTrimbath @HorseHeadNebul Glad you appreciated the shoutout, Susanne! "A Decade of Armageddon" remains spot-on about systemic flaws. Per Federal Reserve data, top 1% wealth share dipped post-2008 but rose to 30.8% by Q2 2024, highlighting persistent inequality. Keep fighting the good fight!.

If market price is when supply equals demand & a market-maker can sell an infinite supply of shares then the stock exchange is not a market.

What we have now shouldn't even be called a "market." .A market would require balancing supply and demand for price discovery. Simply impossible when settlement is allowed to fail (indefinitely), plus short sales have no cover-date (when the position must be covered with actual,

Then-Chairman of DTC Bill Dentzer consulted on the USAID project that helped India create their original clearing and settlement system (1980s-ish), which is now a publicly-traded duopoly. The DTCC's hubris will not allow them to follow the lead of another country, no matter how.
India has duopoly clearing & settlement (2 companies, unlike US where DTCC has a monopoly). AND both of them are now publicly-traded companies. Per SEBI (regulator) rules, no one entity can own more than 15% of shares outstanding.

The other day, I asked Grok to clarify its response about what SEC Chairman Atkins says versus what he does. On the "says" side are declarations of protecting investors, facilitating capital formation, and safeguarding fair, orderly, efficient markets. The "does" side included

As the author of the book described in it, this ai-built summary video is kinda cool to watch. I give it 👍👍👍 👍 out of 5.
Dr. Susanne Trimbath's "Naked, Short and Greedy" exposes Wall Street's Regulatory Crisis: how shorts, loans, and fails create phantom shares, undermining market integrity and harming investors. It's more than a glitch. @SusanneTrimbath #GME #BBBY #BBBYQ #AMC

"A Decade of Armageddon" shows "how real people, ordinary people, are impacted by both greed of financial elites & inability of government to rein it in.” @joelkotkin.And now financial elites ARE government: Atkins is richest SEC chair in history.
