In the depository pledge process, which step is needed after the pledger's DP initiates the pledge instruction for it to become effective?

The pledgee must confirm the pledge instruction after the pledger initiates it. Until the lender confirms through its DP, the pledge is not created and the securities are not marked as pledged in the depository system.
