US Treasury securities sit at the heart of global financial markets and serve as one of the primary forms of high-quality collateral across derivatives and securities financing markets.

This paper examines the transition to mandatory central clearing of US Treasuries, covering the policy objectives underlying the reforms and the evolving market structure, including trends in clearing adoption and client participation. It also addresses application of the mandate to market participants, the clearing ecosystem and access models, margin and capital considerations, the connection to derivatives markets, and the documentation and operational steps required for efficient implementation.
