Tonic Boom! Ep.1: UST Clearing – Kickstarter
Episode 1, Jun 19, 03:20 PM
In this inaugural episode of Tonic Boom!, we kick things off with a conversation dedicated to US Treasury Clearing (USTC), a truly monster reg initiative that will transform the UST industry operating model over the coming years.
The first in a series of episodes on the topic, Chris Watts (host and Tonic CEO) and Phil Cook (Head of Post-Trade at Tonic) focus on the foundations of UST clearing, joined by an impressive line-up of industry SMEs, Travis Keltner, Head of Financing at State Street, and Jeff Sowell, Head of Financing Product at State Street.
Tune in to hear answers to questions including, “What are the market drivers for USTC?”, “What is the regulatory scope, key rules and dates?”, “What is the history of Repo Clearing and how has it shaped the UST Clearing model we see today?”, and finally, “What are the key impact areas for in-scope firms?”
