And that is say just like stocks back to pre the Great Depression, a lot of stocks were not traded over an exchange. They were traded over the counter where nobody knew what the pricing was, didn't have any information. If you would have forced every CDS contract within two years to be traded over an exchange... you would have just shrank in massively. cash collateral and the party that was buying the insurance had to own the underlying bond.
