Jason Fischette, a key executive at Societe Generale responsible for preparations for mandatory U.S. Treasury and repo clearing, is departing the French bank in the coming weeks, according to a report by Risk.net.
Fischette held the position of head of product for FX and fixed income prime brokerage for the Americas at Societe Generale, as confirmed by his LinkedIn profile. His departure comes as the industry prepares for the implementation of mandatory clearing for U.S. Treasuries, a move expected to significantly alter market infrastructure later this year.
Beyond clearing preparations, Fischette also led the bank’s efforts to adopt tokenized U.S. Securities, a developing area of finance that aims to leverage blockchain technology for increased efficiency and transparency. The Canton Network, a blockchain-based platform, has been actively involved in pioneering transactions related to onchain U.S. Treasury financing, with Societe Generale listed as a member of the Industry Working Group alongside Bank of America, Circle, Citadel Securities, and others, according to a press release from December 9, 2025.
Recent activity on the Canton Network, detailed in a December 9, 2025, announcement, showcased a second round of onchain U.S. Treasury financing transactions. This phase expanded upon an initial set of transactions completed in July, demonstrating increased stablecoin liquidity – including the leverage of SBC and USDM1 – and broader participation from financial institutions like Brale and M1X Global. The transactions also highlighted the ability to reuse tokenized Treasuries in real-time, addressing challenges associated with rehypothecation in traditional markets.
Fischette’s role at the ISDA/SIFMA Treasury Forum in Fresh York in 2024, as listed on the event’s attendee list, underscores his involvement in industry discussions surrounding these evolving market structures.
It remains unclear where Fischette will be moving following his departure from Societe Generale.
