“The SEC Adopts Security-Based Swap Execution Facility Rules that Closely Resemble Existing CFTC Swap Execution Facility Rules”
Not long ago we had the CFTC approve the Security-Based Swap Execution Facility Rules. Now, we have the SEC doing the same with similar rules.
Both the CFTC and the SEC work together in securing, registering, and executing foreign currency swaps among other assets.
It looks like we have an agreement to move forward on rules both entities can work with going forward.
“The Final Rules also implement Section 765 of the Dodd-Frank Act to mitigate conflicts of interest at SBSEFs and national securities exchanges (NSEs) that list security based swaps.”
