But also CCP clearing members are imposing very high revenue thresholds and/or imposing requirements related to testing of leveraged rations among others. Such new conditions can be unsurmountable barriers to smaller firms. Other aspects that require attention from the public authorities are related to market fragmentation, for instance its impact on liquidity and trading costs and other consequences still to be fully identified
