Strategic Reading
JSCC is where market volume becomes counterparty risk. It matters most during:
- margin stress (with JSF providing the standardized financing layer);
- volatility spikes on TSE or OSE;
- JGB collateral pressure (linked to JGB repo market);
- clearing participant defaults;
- product migration between exchange, PTS, OTC, and tokenized markets (ODX / Progmat context).
