How does DTCC make money?
The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation handles the final settlement of securities transactions in U.S. financial markets through a centralized and highly automated book-entry system. The process begins when trades executed on exchanges are sent to DTCC subsidiaries, such as the National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC), where they are netted down to calculate a single final obligation for each participating broker-dealer. Through Continuous Net Settlement, the system matches available share inventories against pending delivery obligations, allowing participants to settle trades efficiently without needing to move every individual transaction piece by piece. At the end of the processing day, cash settlement is coordinated through designated settling banks via the Federal Reserve's National Settlement Service, simultaneously transferring funds and updating electronic security ownership records to ensure systemic safety and complete market transparency.
