The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) has indicated that it may disclose more data around credit default swap (CDS) trades in order to counter misconceptions in the market that the derivatives were the root of the financial crisis.

Earlier this month, the DTCC began releasing more information on trades in the CDS market with a view to increasing transparency.
