Today, the Division of Corporation Finance issued a no-action letter to the Bank of England regarding application of the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 if the Bank exercises its statutory bail-in powers with respect to a U.K. bank or a U.K. regulated investment firm that is failing or likely to fail.[1] One of my priorities as Chairman is for the SEC to provide regulatory clarity and certainty for how the U.S. federal securities laws apply to a foreign jurisdiction’s bail-in processes. Clarity and certainty are important to both the U.S. and global markets because these bail-in processes are inherently an emergency and can occur over a single weekend. U.S. investors may own securities in the foreign bank subject to the bail-in. I am pleased that the Division has issued the letter in response to the Bank of England’s request. However, there is a wide range of bank bail-in frameworks used globally. To account for these various frameworks and to provide for a more certain and authoritative solution, I have instructed the Division to prepare a rulemaking recommendation to the Commission regarding a potential exemption from the Securities Act’s registration requirements, for securities offered and sold in connection with a regulatory bail-in. Until the Commission takes up any such rulemaking, I encourage other foreign regulators and regulated firms to contact the Division to discuss their particular bail-in processes or frameworks. Thank you to the Commission staff who evaluated the Bank’s request and prepared the Division’s letter. [1] As detailed in the letter, the Division will not recommend enforcement action to the Commission if a firm does not register exchanges of securities under the Securities Act, in reliance on Section 3(a)(9), in connection with implementation of the bail-in mechanism described in the Bank of England’s request. See Bank of England (April 10, 2026), available at https://www.sec.gov/rules-regulations/no-action-interpretive-exemptive-letters/division-corporation-finance-no-action/bankofengland-04102026.

(NYSE: ICE), one of the world’s leading providers of financial market technology and data powering global capital markets, is celebrating 50 years of options trading on NYSE Arca Options this month, marked today by San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie ringing the Closing Bell from the NYSE Arca Options trading floor.

An example of the page that appears when trying to access one of the seized domains following Operation Atlantic On March 27, a week-long international law enforcement campaign by agencies in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada identified more than $45 million (USD) in cryptocurrency from fraud schemes worldwide. Operation Atlantic focused on identifying and contacting victims, who unknowingly granted cybercriminals access to their cryptocurrency accounts through “approval phishing” scams. Additionally, investigators identified more than 20,000 cryptocurrency wallet addresses linked to fraud victims across more than 30 countries, including Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. $12 million (USD) in fraudulent losses that were transferred out of victims’ wallets by fraudsters were frozen with the goal of returning those funds. Investigators identified an additional $33 million (USD) in funds that are believed to be linked to investment fraud schemes, and these will be investigated further. “Operation Atlantic demonstrated the importance and need for international collaboration to stop cryptocurrency fraud,” said Brent Daniels, the Assistant Director for the U.S. Secret Service’s Office of Field Operations. “Through this operation, investigators prevented millions of dollars in fraud losses and disrupted millions more in fraudulent transactions denying criminals the ability to prey on innocent victims. I am extremely proud of the hard work of everyone involved during this operation.” Operation Atlantic focused on identifying victims who may have lost - or are at risk of losing - crypto assets through approval phishing, which is designed to trick victims into unknowingly granting full access to their cryptocurrency wallets. Scammers will send a fake pop‑up or alert that appears to come from a trusted app or service often linked to a cryptocurrency investment. Victims are asked to “approve” access. Criminals then gain full control of the user’s crypto wallet, allowing them to transfer funds. Once money leaves the victim’s account, the transactions can’t be reversed, and funds are difficult to recover. Operation Atlantic identified and disrupted over 120 web domains used by scammers to conduct fraudulent schemes globally. “Operational Atlantic is a powerful example of what is possible when international agencies and private industry work side by side,” said Miles Bonfield, Deputy Director of Investigations at the UK’s National Crime Agency. “This intensive action has led to the safeguarding of thousands of victims in the UK and overseas, stopped criminals in their tracks and helped save others from losing their funds. We know that fraudsters operate globally and, together with our international partners, so will the NCA to target them wherever they are based.” “The results from Operation Atlantic underscore the strong and ongoing commitment to capital markets enforcement and investor protection shared by the Ontario Securities Commission and our international partners,” said Bonnie Lysyk, Executive Vice President, Enforcement, OSC. “We will continue to pursue bad actors, deepen cross‑border collaboration, and apply advanced enforcement techniques to identify and disrupt crypto‑enabled fraud.” Operation Atlantic was co-hosted by the U.S. Secret Service, the UK’s National Crime Agency, the Ontario Provincial Police, and the Ontario Securities Commission. Additional agencies participating include the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the City of London Police, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia and the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority. This effort was done in close collaboration with private industry partners, whose contributions were an integral part of the operation’s success. “Through Operation Atlantic, investigators were able to disrupt fraud in progress and freeze millions of dollars linked to approval‑phishing schemes,” said Detective Superintendent Jennifer Spurrell, Director of Financial Crimes Services with the Ontario Provincial Police. “This operation demonstrates the real impact collaborative enforcement can have, reducing financial harm and helping individuals avoid the lasting financial consequences of fraud.” If someone believes they are a victim of this type of fraud, please visit the websites below for resources and additional information.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) today launched a public consultation on revised Guidelines on limits on exposures to shadow banking entities carrying out banking activities outside a regulated framework. The revised Guidelines aim to align with the updated EU large-exposure reporting framework and to support sound risk management and governance practices across institutions. The consultation paper aligns the Guidelines with the revised regulatory framework following the entry into force, in January 2024, of the Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) specifying criteria to identify shadow banking entities for large-exposure reporting. It updates the scope of application and the basis for limits by moving from eligible capital to Tier 1 capital, while preserving existing governance requirements and the primary and fallback methods for setting exposure limits. The proposal also removes the 0.25% materiality threshold to simplify the framework. The consultation invites feedback on potential implementation impacts. It also gathers input on current practices and on the possible effects of quantitative limits on lending to shadow banking entities. In addition, it requests information on how institutions identify exposures to shadow banking entities, set limits, and manage related risks. This input will support policy decisions when finalising the Guidelines and to inform broader policy work on shadow banking entities feeding into (i) a report on the contribution of shadow banking entities to the Capital Markets Union and (ii) an assessment of Institutions’ exposures and limits to shadow banking entities, expected to be delivered in December 2027. Consultation process Comments to the consultation paper can be sent by clicking on the "send your comments" button on the EBA's consultation page . The deadline for the submission of comments is 9 July 2026 at 23:59 CEST. The EBA will hold a virtual public hearing on 25 June 2026 from 10:00 to 12:00 CEST. The EBA invites interested stakeholders to register using this link by 17 June 2026 at 16:00 CEST. The dial-in details will be communicated to those who have registered for the meeting. All contributions received will be published following the end of the consultation, unless requested otherwise. Legal basis Article 395(2) of the Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 (CRR 3) mandates the EBA to revise the Guidelines on limits on exposures to shadow banking entities that carry out banking activities outside a regulated framework by 10 January 2027. It also mandates the EBA, to submit a report to the European Commission on the contribution of SBEs to the Capital Markets Union and on institutions’ exposures to such entities, assessing in particular the appropriateness of aggregate or tighter individual limits to those exposures, taking due account of the regulatory framework and business models of such entities by 31 December 2027. Background Under the CRR, a shadow banking entity is any non‑bank entity that performs bank‑like credit intermediation activities but is not subject to equivalent prudential regulation and supervision, as specified in binding EBA RTS under Article 394(4). The EBA Guidelines on limits concerning exposures to shadow banking entities, first issued in 2015, set out guidance for institutions’ risk management and limits with respect to exposures to entities providing banking activities outside the regulated framework. Building on these original guidelines, and when further  mandated by Article 394(2) of CRR2  to operationalise institutions’ reporting obligations of their largest exposures to shadow banking entities on a consolidated basis, the EBA delivered in 2022 RTS on the criteria for the identification of shadow banking entities (link), thereby introducing a legally binding framework that clarifies the criteria for identifying shadow banking entities. This update aims to ensure alignment with this regulatory framework while maintaining the complementary provisions that remain relevant for supervisory and risk management purposes.   Documents Consultation Paper on Guidelines on limits on exposures to shadow banking entities (542.4 KB - PDF) Related content Public hearing 23/06/2026 - 10:00 - 23/06/2026 - 12:00 Public hearing on revised Guidelines on limits on exposures to shadow banking Consultation9 JULY 2026 Consultation on revised Guidelines on limits on exposures to shadow banking GuidelinesFinal and translated into the EU official languages Guidelines on limits on exposures to shadow banking Topic Large exposures  

Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure Protection (OCCIP) announced a new initiative to strengthen cybersecurity across the digital asset industry. The initiative will provide timely, actionable cybersecurity information to eligible U.S. digital asset firms and industry organizations, helping them better identify, prevent, and respond to cyber threats targeting their customers and networks. The effort advances a key recommendation from the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets report, Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Financial Technology. Treasury leadership highlights the growing importance of digital asset firms to the broader financial system. “Digital asset firms are an increasingly important part of the U.S. financial sector, and their resilience is critical to the health of the broader system,” said Luke Pettit, Assistant Secretary for Financial Institutions. “By extending access to the same high-quality cybersecurity information used by traditional financial institutions, Treasury is helping promote a more secure and responsible digital asset ecosystem.” Treasury also emphasized that cybersecurity is foundational to the future of digital finance and essential to responsible innovation. “This initiative reflects the principles of the GENIUS Act by promoting responsible innovation grounded in strong cybersecurity and operational resilience,” said Tyler Williams, Counselor to the Secretary for Digital Assets. “As digital assets become more integrated into the financial system, access to timely and actionable cyber threat information is essential to protecting consumers and safeguarding the stability of U.S. financial markets.” Treasury cybersecurity officials noted that the initiative responds directly to a rapidly evolving threat environment. “Cyber threats targeting digital asset platforms are growing in frequency and sophistication,” said Cory Wilson, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Cybersecurity. “This initiative expands access to actionable threat information that helps firms strengthen defenses, reduce risk, and respond more effectively to incidents.” Eligible U.S. digital asset firms and industry organizations that meet Treasury’s criteria will be able to receive, at no cost, the same actionable cybersecurity information Treasury regularly shares with traditional U.S. financial institutions. Interested firms are encouraged to contact OCCIP at OCCIP-Coord@treasury.gov for more information.

Europe has an EU-wide framework (called “REMIT”) to detect and deter market manipulation and abuse in wholesale energy markets. The Regulation was revised in 2024 to keep pace with evolving market dynamics. To make the framework fully operational, REMIT secondary legislation has also been updated with a recast REMIT Implementing Regulation and a new Delegated Regulation, both entering into force on 29 April 2026 (i.e. 20 days after their publication today in the Official Journal). This reinforced REMIT framework enhances transparency and trust in the integrity of Europe’s energy markets. To support compliance with the new obligations, ACER has published two open letters (one on the recast Implementing Regulation and the other on the new Delegated Regulation). In the coming weeks, ACER will also seek stakeholder input (via a public consultation) on a new guideline to help REMIT data reporting parties comply with new obligations. Key changes 1. The recast Implementing Regulation sets out updated rules for reporting energy market data to ACER, directly affecting all reporting parties. It aims to reduce reporting burdens while enabling more effective market monitoring and detection of potential abuses. 2. The new Delegated Regulation introduces authorisation and supervision processes (including withdrawal and orderly substitution) for: Registered reporting mechanisms (RRMs): entities authorised to report energy data to ACER, either on their own behalf or on behalf of companies. Inside information platforms (IIPs): online platforms where companies publicly disclose inside information (like power outages or capacity issues) so that all market participants can access it at the same time. IIPs are also officially authorised to report this information to ACER on behalf of companies. Together, these two acts aim to improve standardised data reporting, strengthen the supervision of REMIT reporting entities and help ensure transparency and integrity in EU wholesale energy markets. What’s next? ACER public consultation on a new guideline on REMIT transaction reporting to reflect evolving obligations under the revised framework (16 April - 12 June 2026). ACER and European Commission webinar: New REMIT implementing rules for energy market integrity and transparency (23 April 2026). ACER and European Commission annual REMIT workshop (11 June 2026). ACER consultations with targeted stakeholders on guidance documents for data reporting (including on the revised electronic formats). The revision process will be gradual, in line with the phased entry into force of new obligations and will involve stakeholder consultation. Read more & check our manual for new market participants.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission filed a motion Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona asking the court for a preliminary injunction and temporary restraining order that would halt Arizona’s efforts to apply state criminal and gambling laws against CFTC-regulated prediction markets. This motion builds on last week’s filing, with the Department of Justice, of a lawsuit challenging Arizona’s preempted conduct. “Arizona’s decision to weaponize preempted state criminal law against companies that comply with a comprehensive federal regime sets a dangerous precedent,” said Chairman Michael S. Selig. “The CFTC is committed to vigorously defending its exclusive authority over prediction markets. We are asking the court to send a clear message that intimidation is not an acceptable tactic to circumvent federal law.” The CFTC has filed complaints against Arizona, Connecticut, and Illinois, seeking declaratory judgments that federal law grants the CFTC exclusive authority to regulate event contracts and requesting permanent injunctions preventing the states from enforcing preempted state laws against its registrants. In addition to Arizona pursuing criminal charges, each of the three states had sent cease and desist letters to CFTC-regulated entities. The CFTC has clear and longstanding exclusive jurisdiction to regulate event contracts under the Commodity Exchange Act, which preempts state laws purporting to regulate prediction markets.

dxFeed, a global provider of market data and financial technology solutions, announced the launch of its Aggregated Overnight Feed to deliver a consolidated top-of-book data feed for the overnight trading session in U.S. equities. As extended-hours trading continues its transformation from a niche activity into a core component of global market structure, dxFeed's latest innovation addresses a critical gap: high-quality, normalized, and aggregated market data during overnight sessions. "The market is moving toward a continuous trading model, but infrastructure has lagged behind—particularly in overnight sessions," said Stepan Bolshakov, Managing Director at dxFeed. "With our Aggregated Overnight Feed, we are closing that gap by delivering a normalized, consolidated view of liquidity across venues. This enables our clients to operate with the same level of confidence, data quality, and analytical depth—regardless of the time of day."

With pre- and post-market volumes approaching 9% of total daily activity, and demand accelerating across Asia and other international markets, the overnight session is rapidly becoming a structural extension of the U.S. equities market.

Key benefits include: Improved price discovery in low-liquidity environments Enhanced transparency across fragmented venues Better execution strategies for global participants Access to actionable signals during off-hours Reduced operational overhead via consolidated data delivery For quantitative firms, brokers, and institutional traders, this unlocks previously inaccessible alpha opportunities and enables true round-the-clock trading strategies.

DFSA introduces temporary regulatory relief measures to support new firms seeking DFSA authorisation and existing regulated firms in Dubai International Financial Centre Measures will provide flexibility for firms to continue to meet our high regulatory standards during this exceptional operating environment and over the period ahead, enabling them to continue to serve their clients and markets The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), the independent regulator of banking, wealth & asset management, capital markets, and insurance in Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), today announced a package of temporary and proportionate regulatory relief measures to support the DIFC financial services community during the current exceptional operating environment and over the period ahead.

Regulatory Standards Remain Unchanged The DFSA emphasises that regulatory standards and supervisory expectations remain unchanged. Any relief provided will be temporary, subject to appropriate governance and oversight, and designed to support compliance and resilience rather than dilute regulatory requirements.

BondXN Inc., a leading electronic trading and data venue for mortgage-backed securities (MBS), today announced a multi-year partnership with BlackRock Aladdin®. Through this integration, common clients of BondXN and BlackRock Aladdin will be able to directly access BondXN’s Specified Pool and TBA trading capabilities from the Aladdin platform, BlackRock’s technology that unifies the investment management process. Common clients will benefit from seamless connectivity to BondXN’s BWIC workflows, dealer inventories, and advanced screening tools, enabling streamlined execution across multiple e-trading protocols. “By combining BondXN’s market-leading technology with the Aladdin platform’s institutional reach, we are creating new standards for transparency and efficiency in MBS trading that has long been limited by fragmented workflows and legacy platforms,” said Nic Tandon, Chief Product Officer at BondXN. “This partnership allows common clients to access deeper liquidity, simplify complex workflows, and accelerate trade execution.” Orders submitted through the Aladdin platform will flow directly into BondXN, allowing users to source liquidity, engage multiple dealers, and process trades straight-through back into the Aladdin platform - reducing operational friction and manual steps. Beyond its integration with the Aladdin platform, BondXN is transforming workflows across the MBS ecosystem. For originators, the platform has digitized the previously spreadsheet driven BWIC process by connecting sellers to all their counterparties, significantly lowering execution times and error rates. BondXN’s unique technology allows dealers to organize all BWIC and offer activity into a single electronic workflow to improve client connectivity, speed and reduce trade booking violations.
