There is now an estimated $2.1 trillion of collateral in circulation, up 60% from a year ago. Out of all over-the-counter derivatives transactions, 63% are now covered by collateral agreements, up from 59% last year - 78% of collateral offered is cash.

The news marks a big change from a year ago, when Isda found that collateral requirements were decreasing.
