Any [[contract]] the gist of which is for its parties to exchange ''large'' — like, ''really'' large — amounts of [[money]], or [[Securities|money-like things]], having readily realisable value, and the performance of which therefore generates significant [[credit risk]], should one of the parties [[Insolvency|blow up]] before it can pay everything it owes under the contract.
