In 2008, the Clearing Corporation and the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) announced a credit default swap (CDS) public clearing facility[3] that will be linked to DTCC's Trade Information Warehouse. On September 29 of 2008, CCorp affirmed that the CDS clearing counterparty will launch by year-end.[4] [5]
