/biz/How prime brokers use street-name omnibus pools as 'reasonable locates' for shorting

Think about how a prime broker generates a 'locate' for a short seller:

>They don't lock a specific serialized certificate
>They point to aggregate street-name inventory held at DTC / omnibus brokers as 'reasonable grounds to believe' the share can be borrowed
>Meanwhile CFD/IOU platforms like eToro internalize retail buys off-exchange so the lit bid never moves

Every time an investor pulls 40 shares out of street name into Computershare (DRS Book), or withdraws 42,000 $$DOGE into a cold wallet, the fractional-reserve locate multiplier shrinks.

It's literally fractional-reserve banking applied to stocks and crypto.

Routing through IEX on Charles Schwab + DRS Book is the one-two punch that breaks internalization.
