  • Opening Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Kristin N. Johnson Regarding The Open Commission Meeting On December 13, 2023

    Date 13/12/2023

    Good morning. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

    It is a pleasure to welcome everyone joining us for this monumental meeting today. We will consider two proposed rules that represent the Commission taking invaluable steps toward addressing the most pressing issues in our markets—issues that are at the frontier of an undeniable transformation in global financial markets.  We will also consider an application for registration of a derivatives clearing organization interested in enabling digital asset trading in our markets. This application immediately illustrates the urgent need for swift, decisive action and a clear direction of travel from the Commission on evolving market structures enabling the trading of crypto or any novel asset class as well as traditional derivatives products.

  • Careening Toward Clearing: Statement On Rules To Improve Risk Management In Clearance And Settlement And To Facilitate Additional Central Clearing For The U.S. Treasury Market, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, Dec. 13, 2023

    Date 13/12/2023

    Thank you, Mr. Chair. A government that routinely runs substantial deficits needs to be cautious when structuring the rules for the markets in which it borrows. Additional central clearing in the U.S. Treasury market may be one way to strengthen the market to ensure that it can absorb the ever-increasing Treasury issuances, but how we get to increased central clearing matters. The recommendation that the Commission is considering today would commit the market to what may be a reckless ride down the path to mandatory clearing, with no brakes or off-ramps in the event the market takes a bad turn. Accordingly, I cannot support it.
