Search my timeline for "DLT" and "blockchain" to get more background on this topic. A few links to DTCC announcements are broken, but the article links I tested are still good.

Back in 2019, we thought tokenization would mean the end of NSCC/DTCC enabling #FTD settlement fails in the name of liquidity. Not to be out smarted, they got their own no action letter. Not the first, but definitely the 400-lb gorilla on the playground. https://t.co/SEcD0O7hTx

“Like water seeking its own level, big money finds its way around every obstacle, filling pockets of friendly politicians. … Call it what it is: a leveraged buyout of democracy. Outrageous? You bet. But don't just get mad. Get busy.” Bill Moyers Essay 9 Oct 2009.

My point is that this needs Congressional action. The SEC's excuse has long been that they only enforce the laws, and there is no law completely preventing settlement fails (remember: all the exemptions for "liquidity"?).
Econ 101: prices are set where supply equals demand. If dealer can sell infinite supply of stocks/bonds, then price is, 🧐technically-speaking, 💩baloney. Resulting field of play cannot be called a “market”. #FTD #ShortSell #SDR Demand Settlement Discipline Regime NOW!

Wish we had criminal code versus market manipulation instead of regulators (and I use that term loosely) kneeling at the altar of liquidity in constant praise of failures to deliver.

Ask yourself WTF anything about Federal Reserve policy & digital currency has to do with defense spending. This is your government on crack! 328 days to mid-terms 2026. If Congress wants a law about CBDC, then have the guts to write it, not tack it on a budget bill.
BREAKING: House passes $901B military defense bill.

Post updated. Fails charge subtracts target rate. Cut would not reduce fails charge. Minimum fails charge is 3%, so for now, no difference.

Federal Open Market Committee #FOMC meeting starts today. If you rejoice in a rate cut remember that consumer debt interest rates only MAY fall in the long run.
NC-17 And now for something completely wonky about the Fed Funds Rate. 1) It's only a target, which the Fed usually misses anyway. 2) Consumer rates fall slowly after rate cuts (but rise immediately after hikes). 3) Fed doesn't actually set a rate. They will try to increase the
