Good question. Other countries have their own clearing and settlement facilities. Their settlement mechanisms may end up being a bit different, and I have no idea if they can "reach back" to the Fed to cover shortages.
But the DTCC has no authority to force any settlements outside of the US.
Also if Wallstreet flips the board like that, the rest of the world will abandon the US stock market. The US government definitely doesnt want that happening.
The federal government have everything to gain by letting it play out and making them payout in full. They get to retain global confidence in the NYSE, and then sit back and collect billlions in income tax from retail investors.
If you browse superstonk long enough you start to realize there are millions of retail investors now from every coner of the globe that allows investing in the NYSE.
I dont see how a US agency can come up with a one size fits all settlement and enforce it on the entire rest of the globe.
Shitadel certainly seems determined to dig this hole all the way to China.

Because the only other option is stick capital in Chinese markets.
If that happens, then we'll all need to learn Mandarin and enjoy fish head stew as a treat, 'cause bug burgers will be our normal ration, comrades.
