• Summary
• Financial firms borrowed $74.6 billion from SRF on final trading day of 2025
• Year-end liquidity needs drive record borrowing from New York Fed's SRF
• SRF usage unlikely to signal market trouble

Dec 31 (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve Bank of New York's Standing Repo Facility, or SRF, loaned a record amount of cash Wednesday to eligible financial firms, as these companies managed liquidity needs on the final trading day of 2025.
The firms borrowed $74.6 billion from the central bank, in loans collateralized with $31.5 billion in Treasury bonds and $43.1 billion in mortgage-backed securities. The borrowing on Wednesday compared to the prior peak of $50.35 billion seen on October 31, which was a quarter-end.

So they loaned out more money yesterday than any day in history before; and not just a little- but by half times again as the largest previous ever cash injection.

Who is regulating these companies? Who is making sure the loans are valid? Hmmmmm.
