/gme/ETF operational shorting (XRT) and how DRS Book tightens the settlement loop
Whenever $$GME volume dries up to bone-dry levels for 3 weeks straight and then suddenly prints 40M+ shares on zero corporate news, look at the prior month's Failures-to-Deliver (FTD) and ETF basket redemptions.
Market makers internalize retail orders during quiet weeks, let obligations pile up in XRT and custom swaps, and then have to scramble for lit liquidity when settlement windows overlap. Routing your buys through IEX on Interactive Brokers (IBKR) and locking shares in DRS Book makes every cycle tighter.
