T+1 Settlement: A Chance for Modernization and Resilience

DTCC’s FICC hit a new peak on September 30, 2025, clearing USD $12.5 trillion in a single day through its Government Securities Division. That’s a 146% increase since the SEC first announced expanded central clearing in 2022. Sponsored Service volumes also surged past USD $2.6 trillion, reinforcing the value of indirect access models and done-away strategies. As the industry prepares for the expanded clearing mandate, DTCC continues to deliver scalable, resilient solutions for firms navigating change.

Fxnice Review 2025: Is Fxnice a Scam—or Just High Risk? 🚨 Fxnice (under Venture Securities Limited) markets MT5, “competitive” spreads (~1 pip), 24/7 support, and up to 1:500 leverage. But can it be trusted? The big concerns: • Weak regulation: Fxnice points to Honduras’ FSA—not a top-tier regulator (unlike FCA/ASIC/CySEC). Oversight & investor protections are limited. 🧯 • Low reputation score: Independent ratings flag poor trustworthiness, withdrawal complaints, and transparency issues. 📉 • Vague product info: Asset list is unclear—a classic transparency red flag. 🕳️ Why this matters: High leverage + weak regulation = elevated risk for deposits, withdrawals, and dispute resolution. If something goes wrong, your options may be limited. 👉 Full breakdown: https://lnkd.in/gUKz2z7D
