The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission's (CFTC) Division of Clearing and Risk has put out staff guidance that spells out risk-management expectations for registered derivatives clearing organizations (DCOs) handling tokenized collateral, including tokenized U.S. Treasury securities posted as margin.
