This week, we’re featuring a diverse range of topics and insights, including financial regulation, climate action and biodiversity initiatives. My colleague Peter Malyshev discusses the latest on the U.S. District Court’s consent order and sanctions imposed on an entity that significantly broadens the scope of the definition of a commodity trading advisor. I dive in and discuss recent reactions to the U.S. prudential bank regulator’s Basel III Endgame Proposal.

Mercedes Tunstall provides insights into the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s report on stablecoins, focusing on security and stability concerns. We also discuss the UK’s approach to securitization reform post-Brexit, insights from the UK Climate Change Committee’s latest report, and the joint plan between France and the UK to launch a biodiversity credits scheme.

We’re always here for comments and questions. Just drop me a note here.
