ISDA has responded to the CFTC’s Request for Input on the Tokenized Collateral and Stablecoin Initiative, offering perspectives on how tokenization and GENIUS Act–compliant payment stablecoins might contribute to more efficient and resilient collateral practices in derivatives markets.
The letter outlines potential opportunities—such as improved collateral mobility and enhanced risk management—while noting the importance of maintaining legal certainty, consistent regulatory treatment, and sound liquidity and credit risk frameworks.
ISDA also discusses considerations related to haircuts, custody, DCO acceptance, and cross-border coordination, emphasizing the need for continued analysis and regulatory dialogue as these technologies evolve.
The response reflects ISDA’s intent to support policymakers and market participants as they assess appropriate standards for the responsible use of tokenized assets and stablecoins.
