Clearstream Banking S.A., Luxembourg („Clearstream“), a 100 per cent subsidiary of Deutsche Börse AG, learned today that a US court in the so-called Peterson II case (see annual report of 2025, page 261) issued a decision in favor of creditors of Iran who had brought a lawsuit seeking turnover of  at least approximately USD 1.7 bn that are attributed to the Iranian central bank (”Bank Markazi“) and held in custody at Clearstream in Luxembourg in a client account. Clearstream is assessing appealing the decision.Since 2018, Bank Markazi also as part of an action filed in Luxembourg against (among others) Clearstream is asking for restitution of considerable amounts of assets including the abovementioned amount of approximately USD 1.7 bn (see ad hoc announcement of Deutsche Börse AG of 18 January 2018). This action is currently still being briefed in the first instance proceedings. Clearstream after legal consultation believes the claims made against it in Luxembourg to be without merit.Clearstream, after comprehensive legal consultation and within the scope of its potential courses of action, will weigh all relevant interests and responsibilities as to how to deal with the assets at issue while complying with Clearstream's legal and regulatory obligations. Clearstream will continue to analyze the overall legal situation.Based on the legal assessment of the mentioned cases, today’s decision does not cause any material change to the overall risk that would require Clearstream or Deutsche Börse AG to make provisions in this context.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission today announced the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York entered a supplemental consent order against Nishad Singh, the former head of engineering at FTX.  The order imposes disgorgement of $3.7 million, requires Singh to continue cooperating with the Commission, and imposes a five-year trading ban and an eight-year registration ban — both from the date of entry of the initial consent order. The initial consent order and supplemental consent order resolve the CFTC’s enforcement action against Singh. [See CFTC Press Release No. 8669-23] The court entered an initial consent order in April 2023 against Singh, finding him liable on both counts of the CFTC’s complaint, including fraud by misappropriation and aiding and abetting such fraud. It also permanently enjoined Singh from violating the antifraud provisions of the Commodity Exchange Act and Commission regulations as charged, and from willfully aiding and abetting such violations. “The injunctions and monetary relief imposed here demonstrate the significant benefits that may be achieved through cooperating with the CFTC,” said Director of Enforcement David Miller. “The defendant engaged in, and aided, significant violations of the Act and CFTC regulations as the former FTX head of engineering, and the consent orders reflect the severity of these violations. But this resolution also reflects the Commission’s commitment to rewarding and incentivizing material assistance in Division investigations.” The supplemental consent order acknowledges that the Commission is not seeking restitution and/or a civil monetary penalty at this time, based in part upon Singh’s cooperation in the Commission’s investigation and related proceedings, including the parallel criminal action, United States v. Singh, Crim. No. 22-cr-673 (S.D.N.Y. 2023), in which Singh pled guilty to six counts, including conspiracy to commit commodities fraud. RELATED LINKS Supplemental Consent Order: Nishad Singh

During my November congressional testimony before the Senate Agriculture Committee, I pledged to work tirelessly as Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to maintain the agency’s status as a world-class financial markets regulator. I committed to protect our farmers and ranchers, roll back outdated rules and regulations, and deliver on President Trump’s promise to make America the crypto capital of the world. I’m pleased to report that in the 100 days since being sworn in, I’ve made significant progress on those goals. The CFTC is moving rapidly to deliver a new Golden Age for America’s financial markets. Many Americans have never heard of the CFTC, but the agency is one of the world’s most important financial regulators. The agency, which regulates futures, options, and swaps, oversees more than $500 trillion in notional value of financial activity in the U.S. every year. These products are used by farmers who hedge their risk from drought and rising input costs and by airlines that need stable prices for jet fuel. At a more practical level, the CFTC helps ensure that Americans have steady prices for things like groceries, gas, and other everyday products. The agency has recently seen an increased interest in prediction markets and products involving crypto assets and AI data center compute. My approach since being confirmed to lead the agency has been simple: how can we continue to deliver robust markets for all Americans as we embark into a new frontier of finance? I have begun by undoing some of the actions and policies of the Biden administration. The agency’s so-called Climate Risk Unit has been dismantled, and I’ve rescinded several other climate-related initiatives that don’t make sense for our agency or market participants. The CFTC is a serious financial regulator, not an agency used to pursue political pet projects The Biden-era approach of regulation through enforcement has also come to an end. Instead of working with innovators and job makers, the prior administration pursued legal action against them and refused to set clear rules, which forced the world’s most cutting-edge technology companies to flee offshore, killing American jobs and businesses in the process. Thankfully, federal courts have rejected many of these claims, but we're still working to undo the damage. In addition to righting the wrongs of the previous administration, the agency has been moving full speed ahead to deliver on the President’s priorities. To start, I’ve launched an Innovation Advisory Committee comprising academics, financial industry incumbents, and new entrants, and revitalized the Agricultural Advisory Committee to make sure that farmers, credit providers, and agricultural market participants have a seat at the table. The origins of our markets are in the trading of agricultural commodities. The CFTC was created to enable these markets to be deep, liquid, and fair, because our nation’s farmers and ranchers need access to strong risk management tools. Importantly, the agency is looking to implement changes to the Commitment of Traders (COT) report and publish it on a more frequent basis, a long-time request from agricultural businesses. Under my leadership, we’re returning confidence back to our growers and producers. Another key priority is to lower the compliance burdens and energy costs for small businesses. To help, the agency is working to finalize de minimis threshold exemptions to provide regulatory relief to energy, agriculture, and critical mineral producers that have been blocked from fully accessing commodity swaps markets. This action will provide access to more market participants, which will work to stabilize and contribute to lower commodity prices in the long term. As new asset classes emerge and with the possibility of Congress passing crypto asset market structure legislation soon, the CFTC is ready to take responsibility for a $3 trillion crypto asset market that is growing larger by the day. In January, we partnered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Project Crypto—creating a joint effort between the SEC and the CFTC to harmonize federal oversight of crypto asset markets. In March, the agency took several steps to improve the regulatory environment: providing no-action relief to a digital wallet software developer, publishing the first crypto asset classification system, referred to as a taxonomy, that makes clear the differences between digital securities and digital commodities, delivering further clarity concerning tokenized collateral, and launching an Innovation Task Force—dedicated to advancing clear rules of the road for American innovators building novel products within U.S. derivatives markets. The same regulatory clarity being delivered to the crypto industry is being developed for prediction markets, which can serve as powerful tools for information discovery and are regulated by the CFTC under the Commodity Exchange Act. Not only did Commission staff issue a Prediction Markets Advisory, but the agency recently published a notice soliciting early public input before considering new regulations for prediction markets. I have been humbled to be a part of the Trump administration’s effort to break from the restrictive regulatory practices of the past and create a derivatives market that works for everyone. Our derivatives markets are among the most sophisticated and liquid in the world, and as the financial markets continue to fully digitize and move onchain, regulators must be disciplined enough to administer the minimum effective dose of regulation, otherwise innovation moves elsewhere and our nation suffers the consequences If the past is prologue, the next 100 days—and the years beyond—will build on this transformative foundation as the CFTC remains the gold standard for smart, effective oversight of financial markets.

Nodal Exchange and IncubEx announced today the successful launch and first trade of financially settled California Carbon Allowance (CCA) futures and options contracts on March 30, 2026.

On March 27, 2026, the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) announced fraud allegations against SponsorsOne Brands Inc. (SPO), Gary Bartholomew and Myles Bartholomew (together, the Bartholomews). The OSC alleges SPO and the Bartholomews misused the consultant exemption to the prospectus requirement to illegally distribute shares and commit securities fraud. It is further alleged that WestCan Energy Ltd. (WestCan), a purported consultant, and Mr. John Cameron Cunningham (principal and directing mind of Westcan), participated in the illegal distribution of SPO shares. In 2020 and 2021, SPO and the Bartholomews, issued approximately 1.2 billion SPO treasury shares to five entities described as marketing consultants, ostensibly for marketing services. The OSC alleges, however, that little to no meaningful marketing work was performed. Instead, the purported consultants sold the shares on the open market and directed approximately CAD $24 million to or for the benefit of SPO and the Bartholomews. Although SPO claimed the shares were issued under the consultant exemption from the prospectus requirement, the OSC alleges the consultants acted as de facto underwriters, improperly distributing shares to the public. A case management hearing will be held before the Capital Markets Tribunal on May 7, 2026, at 10:00 am EST. A copy of the Application for Enforcement Proceeding   is available on the Capital Markets Tribunal website. The mandate of the OSC is to provide protection to investors from unfair, improper or fraudulent practices, to foster fair, efficient and competitive capital markets and confidence in the capital markets, to foster capital formation, and to contribute to the stability of the financial system and the reduction of systemic risk. Investors are urged to check the registration of any persons or company offering an investment opportunity and to review the OSC investor materials available at www.osc.ca.

On 25 March 2026, ACER received a proposal from the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) to amend the methodology for the regional sizing of reserve capacity. What is the methodology about? Balancing resources are necessary to manage differences between electricity supply and demand, keeping the grid stable in real time. To maintain this balance, transmission system operators (TSOs) determine the volume of reserve capacity needed at national level.  At regional level, the methodology for the regional sizing of reserve capacity allows regional coordination centres (RCCs) to assess reserve needs across countries, taking into account volumes shared between TSOs through bilateral agreements. This coordination helps reduce procurement costs and ensure a more efficient distribution of reserves across Europe. Based on their assessment, RCCs provide TSOs with recommendations on how to optimise reserve capacity volumes, thereby leveraging the flexibility of the EU electricity system. Why amend the methodology? As requested by ACER in 2023, ENTSO-E proposes to: determine the appropriate time span of historical data that RCCs should use to assess the minimum volume of reserves needed for the following year, ensuring the data used reflects relevant system conditions; specify how much reserve capacity is needed to cover positive and negative imbalances for a defined percentage of time. These changes will help RCCs size reserve capacity more efficiently, address TSOs’ operational risks and enhance the process’ transparency and coordination. ENTSO-E also proposes a new 24-month implementation deadline for assessing the short-term availability of reserve capacity that TSOs have agreed to share, starting from the date each agreement is signed. This deadline concerns only newly established agreements and reflects the voluntary nature of the task (i.e. it applies only where sharing agreements between TSOs are in place). What are the next steps? ACER will decide whether to amend the methodology by 25 June 2026. Interested parties are encouraged to submit comments or questions to ACER-ELE-2026-002@acer.europa.eu by 30 April 2026. See ENTSO-E's proposal and explanatory note.
