On August 20, 2026, CFTC Chairman Michael S. Selig presented a nonbinding innovation agenda covering crypto assets, compute markets, and prediction markets. The speech signals potential rulemaking under existing Commodity Exchange Act authorities, including a possible crypto asset market designation for exchanges and leveraged or margined crypto trading, but it does not itself create new obligations or deadlines.
Key dates
2026-08-20
Chairman Michael S. Selig delivered the Innovation Advisory Committee speech and announced the prospective roadmap for crypto assets, compute markets, and prediction markets.
Suggested considerations
Firms should treat the speech as a forward-looking supervisory and rulemaking signal, not as an effective legal change, and continue applying currently effective CEA, CFTC regulations, registration, listing, reporting, customer-protection, and market-surveillance requirements.
Crypto platforms should assess whether their products could constitute futures, swaps, or retail commodity transactions offered on a margined, leveraged, or financed basis, and should document the current jurisdictional and registration analysis for each product and customer segment.
Crypto exchanges and protocol developers may wish to monitor CFTC releases, Federal Register notices, and any proposed rules concerning crypto asset markets, onchain finance protocols, and possible DCM designation; they should be prepared to submit comments within the applicable future comment periods rather than relying on the speech as a safe harbor.
Designated contract markets and prediction-market operators should review event-contract listing governance, product surveillance, manipulation controls, customer disclosures, incentive programs, and state-law litigation exposure in light of the CFTC's stated intention to defend exclusive federal jurisdiction.
Prediction-market firms should monitor developments concerning prohibited gaming-related contracts, public-interest standards, fully collateralized event-contract reporting, and enhanced consumer-protection requirements identified in independent industry coverage of the committee meeting.
Firms developing compute-related contracts or financing products should map the underlying compute service, delivery and settlement terms, participants, and potential commodity or derivatives characterization so that they can respond meaningfully to the CFTC and Department of Commerce request for comment.
Compliance teams may wish to update regulatory-change inventories and senior-management briefings to distinguish the Chairman's policy direction from binding Commission action, particularly because any future rules would require formal rulemaking, publication, and applicable transition periods.
What changed
The Chairman directed CFTC staff to explore rules establishing a CFTC framework for crypto asset markets using existing authorities. The proposed approach could allow current registrants and non-registrant crypto exchanges to be designated as a type of designated contract market called a crypto asset market, with authority to offer crypto asset trading on a leveraged or margined basis under purpose-specific rules; no rule text, eligibility criteria, effective date, or compliance threshold was issued in the speech.
Compliance impact
Immediate legal impact is low because the publication is a speech and creates no new binding requirements, registration category, reporting obligation, or compliance deadline. Strategic and regulatory-change impact is material for crypto exchanges, prediction-market operators, and firms developing compute-linked products because the Chairman has directed staff toward potential rulemaking and indicated that the CFTC may use existing authorities if Congress does not enact CLARITY.

PRESS RELEASE | JULY 13, 2026 Agencies Issue Guidance on Lending to Individuals Not Legally Authorized to Work in the United States WASHINGTON — The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the National Credit Union Administration (collectively, the agencies) today…
AI Analysis
The FDIC, OCC, and NCUA issued joint guidance reminding supervised institutions that lending to individuals not legally authorized to work in the United States may present elevated credit risk and should be addressed through safe-and-sound underwriting and monitoring. The guidance matters because it reinforces existing obligations under TILA/Regulation Z and ECOA/Regulation B, and signals increased supervisory attention to borrower capacity to repay and employment stability.
Key dates
2026-06-08
CFPB issued the Statement on Ability To Repay and Immigration Status referenced by the agencies
2026-07-13
FDIC, OCC, and NCUA issued the interagency guidance on lending to individuals not legally authorized to work in the United States
Suggested considerations
Compliance teams may wish to review underwriting standards to confirm that capacity-to-repay analysis captures employment-authorization-related income instability.
Firms should consider whether credit policy, risk grading, and portfolio monitoring procedures explicitly address elevated repayment uncertainty for non-work-authorized borrowers.
Institutions may wish to reassess documentation and verification controls for income, employment, and supporting records in light of the agencies' stated focus on safe-and-sound lending.
Teams should consider whether fair-lending, TILA, and ECOA controls are aligned with the CFPB's June 8, 2026 statement and the interagency guidance.
Risk and finance functions may wish to evaluate whether allowance, concentration risk, and credit-loss assumptions need updating where exposure to this borrower segment is material.
What changed
The publication does not create a new lending ban or a new standalone rule. Instead, it restates that institutions should identify, measure, monitor, and control the credit risks associated with borrowers who are not legally authorized to work in the United States through underwriting practices that assess willingness and capacity to repay according to the credit terms.
The guidance specifically links this issue to the CFPB's June 8, 2026 Statement on Ability To Repay and Immigration Status and reminds creditors of obligations under the Truth in Lending Act as implemented by Regulation Z,...
Compliance impact
The agencies describe the issue as a credit-risk and safety-and-soundness matter, so the immediate impact is heightened supervisory scrutiny rather than a new prohibition. Institutions with meaningful exposure to affected borrowers may face criticism if underwriting, monitoring, and documentation do not clearly reflect the stated risks.

Speech At a Bank Policy Institute London Conference, London, United Kingdom
AI Analysis
Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman used this Federal Reserve speech to frame a broad U.S. and international push to modernize financial regulation around four principles: focus on material risks, tailor oversight to risk profile, increase transparency/accountability, and stay forward-looking on innovation. For compliance teams, the speech is a clear policy signal that the Federal Reserve is moving toward more risk-based supervision, capital simplification, updated asset thresholds, and more permissive treatment of responsible AI adoption.
Key dates
2026-07-13
Federal Reserve speech delivered in London on modernization of financial regulation
2026-07-22 Deadline
FSB public comment deadline for the consultation report on sound practices for responsible adoption of AI
2026-07-13
Speech states the FSB modernization consultation report will be published in the fall and then delivered to the G20
Suggested considerations
Compliance teams may wish to map the speech to ongoing capital-rule workstreams, especially Basel III, stress testing, and G-SIB surcharge calibration.
Large-bank firms may wish to assess whether current capital planning assumes overlapping stress-test and risk-based requirements that could be reduced or realigned.
Community and regional banks may wish to review whether fixed-dollar regulatory thresholds continue to overstate burden as assets grow with inflation and nominal GDP.
Supervised firms may wish to align internal issue-management processes with the Federal Reserve’s stated shift toward findings tied to material financial risk and more differentiated treatment of lesser issues.
AI governance teams may wish to compare current model-risk, vendor-risk, and use-case controls against the FSB’s consultation themes on responsible adoption and use of AI.
Boards and senior management may wish to review whether supervisory documentation, escalation, and risk reporting are sufficiently focused on material safety-and-soundness issues.
What changed
This speech does not itself impose binding requirements, but it signals several concrete regulatory and supervisory changes already underway. Bowman said the Federal Reserve is advancing a 2026 Basel III proposal and related capital framework reforms, including a single stack of risk-based capital requirements for large banks, recalibration of the G-SIB surcharge, reduced overlap between stress testing and risk-based capital requirements, and indexing the G-SIB surcharge to nominal economic growth going forward.
Compliance impact
The near-term impact is moderate rather than immediate because the speech is policy guidance, not a final rule. However, it signals a material supervisory shift toward reduced burden, more tailored oversight, and greater emphasis on material risk, which may affect how examinations, capital planning, and governance expectations evolve.
The update is a speech (informational content) with no description provided beyond the title and venue. The title references corporate governance, which supports the Senior Managers / Governance topic. However, the absence of any summary content prevents identification of specific sectors or firm types affected.
In this speech, FSB Secretary General, John Schindler highlights the importance of resolve in resolution planning, emphasising collaboration, preparedness, in maintaining financial system resilience.

In her remarks, Michelle W. Bowman, Chair of the FSB Standing Committee on Supervisory and Regulatory Cooperation (SRC), discusses the FSB’s Consultation Report on the Sound Practices for Responsible Adoption of Artificial Intelligence.
AI Analysis
The FSB used this speech to signal that its consultation report on sound practices for responsible AI adoption is meant to guide, not hard-code, how financial institutions govern AI use. For compliance teams, the key message is that the draft framework is risk-based and proportional, with lighter-touch expectations for lower-risk uses and greater scrutiny where AI is material to business operations or legal and regulatory obligations.
Key dates

Deadline for public comments on the consultation report
Suggested considerations
Compliance teams may wish to map all AI use cases and classify which deployments are material to business operations, legal obligations, or regulatory obligations.
Firms should consider whether existing governance, model risk, and operational risk controls already cover AI lifecycle risks, including selection, data governance, monitoring, human oversight, and cyber/ICT exposures.
Institutions may wish to test whether AI governance is proportionate by business size and complexity, especially where lower-risk use cases could justify lighter controls.
Board and senior management teams should consider whether roles, responsibilities, and escalation paths for AI are clearly defined and documented.
Firms may wish to maintain a current inventory of AI systems and vendors so they can evidence oversight, dependency management, and remediation decisions if the final report adopts similar sound practices.
Compliance teams should monitor the final FSB report later in 2026 and compare any finalized practices against current internal policies, third-party controls, and incident response arrangements.
What changed
This publication does not impose new binding rules; it is an opening remark supporting the FSB’s June 2026 consultation report on Sound Practices for Responsible Adoption of Artificial Intelligence. The speaker says the report is intended to be finalized later in 2026 as a U.S. G20 deliverable, and that feedback from the public comment process will shape the final text.
Compliance impact
The current publication is consultative and non-binding, so immediate legal impact is limited. The practical consequence is preparatory pressure: firms that use AI should expect a future FSB final report to reinforce risk-based governance, proportionality, and stronger controls for materially important AI deployments.

BOARD MEETING | JUNE 25, 2026 FDIC Board of Directors Meeting Today, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s Board of Directors met in open session to consider the following matters. Materials and information relative to the open Board actions are available on the Board Matters webpage . Items Addressed in Open…
AI Analysis
On 2026-06-25, the FDIC Board met in open session and approved three notices of proposed rulemaking: one on resolution submissions for covered insured depository institutions, one on assessment thresholds/rate schedules/adjustments, and one on disclosure of information. This matters because each proposal signals material shifts in FDIC compliance obligations, with the resolution proposal and assessment proposal appearing to reduce or reshape filing and assessment burdens while the disclosure proposal expands permitted sharing of confidential FDIC information under defined conditions.
Key dates
2026-06-25
FDIC Board met in open session and approved three notices of proposed rulemaking
Suggested considerations
Compliance teams may wish to assess whether the institution would fall above the proposed resolution-submission threshold if raised to $100 billion in assets.
Firms may wish to inventory current resolution-planning, interim supplement, and public-section processes to identify work that could be reduced or repurposed if the proposal is finalized.
Assessment and finance teams may wish to model the impact of a $10 billion to $30 billion threshold change and any indexed future adjustments on deposit insurance assessments.
Legal and information-governance teams may wish to review confidentiality-agreement templates and third-party-sharing controls in anticipation of broader permitted disclosure under Part 309.
Institutions currently subject to FDIC resolution submissions may wish to monitor whether the proposed filing-cycle change to every three years alters internal preparation calendars and governance approvals.
What changed
The Board approved a notice of proposed rulemaking to revise resolution-submission requirements for covered insured depository institutions; secondary reporting indicates the proposal would raise the applicability threshold from $50 billion to $100 billion in total assets, move covered institutions to a three-year filing cycle, eliminate certain interim supplements and public sections, and remove a substantial portion of current narrative content requirements.
Compliance impact
The practical impact is potentially significant for large and midsize FDIC-insured institutions, because the proposals could materially change resolution planning, assessment exposure, and handling of confidential FDIC information. The publication does not describe enforcement consequences, but a final rule could require firms to redesign reporting, governance, and third-party disclosure controls.

PRESS RELEASE | JUNE 2, 2026 Agencies Remove Additional References to Reputation Risk WASHINGTON—The federal bank regulatory agencies today jointly updated certain interagency documents to remove references to reputation risk. The agencies are taking this action to complement their earlier actions that ended the use…
AI Analysis
On 2026-06-02, the FDIC, OCC, and Federal Reserve jointly updated certain interagency supervisory documents to remove references to reputation risk. The agencies said the edits are meant to align with their earlier actions ending the use of reputation risk in supervision and to keep supervisory judgments focused on material financial risks.
Key dates
2026-06-02
FDIC, OCC, and Federal Reserve jointly announced updates to certain interagency documents removing references to reputation risk
Suggested considerations
Compliance teams may wish to inventory supervisory manuals, internal policies, and model examination references that still mention reputation risk and assess whether any language should be updated for consistency with the agencies’ approach.
Firms should consider whether account-closure, onboarding, or risk-acceptance frameworks rely on reputation-risk concepts that may now be less aligned with supervisory expectations.
Banks may wish to review escalation criteria and decision records to ensure they are grounded in material financial, operational, or legal risk factors rather than vague reputational concerns.
Supervisory response teams may wish to brief relevant business lines on the agencies’ stated focus on financial risk and the agencies’ concern that reputation risk can be used to pressure restrictions on lawful customer activity.
Compliance functions may wish to monitor whether additional interagency documents are revised in subsequent FDIC, OCC, or Federal Reserve publications.
What changed
The publication says the agencies updated certain interagency documents and removed references to reputation risk. The stated scope of the change is narrow: the agencies said the updates are limited to removing references to reputation risk, not to imposing new obligations on banks. The agencies also reiterated that reputation risk can be misused to pressure banks to restrict access to financial services based on constitutionally protected political or religious beliefs, speech, conduct, or lawful business activities.
Compliance impact
The impact is moderate but notable because the agencies are signaling that supervisory decisions should be anchored in material financial risks rather than reputation risk concepts. The release does not create a new compliance obligation, but it does indicate a supervisory posture that may reduce tolerance for policies or practices justified primarily by reputational concerns.

AI Analysis
Chairman Travis Hill said the FDIC and Federal Reserve Board approved joint feedback letters on the 2025 Title I resolution plan submissions of the eight U.S. GSIBs and 56 foreign-based firms. He also signaled a broader recalibration of large-bank resolution policy, including forthcoming amendments to the FDIC’s IDI Rule and possible changes to other resolution-related rules and the Title I planning process.
Key dates
2026-05-22
FDIC and Federal Reserve Board approved joint agency feedback letters on the 2025 resolution plan submissions; Chairman Hill issued his statement
2026-06-01
Expected timeframe for the FDIC to propose amendments to the IDI Rule, described as coming in the following weeks
Suggested considerations
Compliance and resolution-planning teams may wish to review the forthcoming FDIC IDI Rule proposal closely for potential changes to large-bank resolution expectations.
Firms subject to Title I planning may wish to reassess prior resolution-plan assumptions, including any areas likely to be revisited through joint FDIC-Federal Reserve feedback.
Large banking organizations may wish to map which existing resolution-related policies or internal playbooks could be affected if the FDIC rescinds or modifies current requirements.
Teams may wish to monitor whether the FDIC and Federal Reserve Board signal changes to the structure, scope, or cadence of future Title I submissions and feedback letters.
What changed
The announcement does not create a new binding rule or immediate compliance deadline. Instead, it confirms supervisory feedback on the 2025 resolution plans for the eight U.S. GSIBs and 56 foreign-based firms and signals that the FDIC is actively reevaluating its resolution framework. Chairman Hill said the FDIC plans to propose amendments to the IDI Rule for large insured depository institutions in the coming weeks, is reviewing other resolution-related rules and policies, and expects to engage the Federal Reserve Board on reconsidering elements of the Title I resolution planning process.
Compliance impact
The immediate practical impact is moderate: the statement signals policy direction rather than imposing a new requirement. The main compliance risk is forward-looking, because the FDIC is telegraphing changes that could alter resolution planning expectations, supervisory feedback, and large-bank preparedness standards.
