Given the pace of innovation, it’s clear that direct clearing models will also be impacted by impending changes, like 24/7 trading and clearing. CFTC staff are now contemplating whether 24/7 trading and a direct clearing model where collateral needs to be exchanged in real time is even possible without the creation and adoption of new forms of collateral, like tokenization, which are not limited by banking hours. – Caroline D.

Stablecoins, like USDC, may benefit significantly should legislative clarity advance, enhancing fiat and crypto exchanges. Scholars suggest the bank’s endorsement further cements a promising landscape for cryptocurrency.

While regulatory responses remain nascent, industry optimism about potential crypto cycle momentum continues among stakeholders. Absent direct Fed commentary from Piper Sandler, their insights reflect broader strategic views and potential policy impacts if Trump’s preferred path materializes.
