"This is genuinely significant. Real-time collateral mobility solves a massive piece of the puzzle. The next question: once that collateral is moving 24/7 who absorbs losses when a counterparty defaults at 3am Saturday Traditional CCPs weren't designed for markets that don't sleep. The mutualized default fund model assumes operational hours for loss allocation that don't exist here. Settlement infrastructure is finally catching up. Credit intermediation is the next frontier"

"Everyone's building settlement rails. Vital infrastructure. But settlement is the easy part. The hard part is what happens at 3am when a counterparty can't meet margin and the market's gapping 15%. That's clearing. That's the gap no one's filling"

"2/ Moving collateral faster doesn't answer the credit question. When a counterparty defaults at 3am Saturday who absorbs the loss Traditional CCPs use mutualized default funds - capital trapped from every member allocated through manual processes during business hours.

"Privacy-enabled stablecoins on institutional rails was always a missing piece. Trading desks don't broadcast positions on public ledgers. The question was never "will tokenization happen" - it was "will it happen with infrastructure institutions can actually use." 600+ institutions. $6T+ on-chain. That's starting to look like an answer"

"Dan your breakdown of ADL as forced trades at bankrupt price nails why it's zero-sum but still feels off. Not for the reasons that the paper holds but the outcomes.

Appreciate the precision though; it's how the conversation moves forward. My worry it that even this setup props up perps a pseudo-quanto hack from '17's reg-avoidance era. Futures scale hedging without fragmentating utility if we solve clearing access without huge default"
