The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU’s financial markets regulator and supervisor, has today published a resolution briefing for Central Counterparties (CCPs). The briefing provides practical guidance to National Resolution Authorities (NRAs) on how to operationalise the write-down and conversion of instruments tool (WDCI). Marking an important step in ESMA’s wider efforts to ensure that CCP resolution tools can be effectively applied in a crisis, the briefing supports NRAs in enhancing their preparedness for implementing a WDCI. By promoting consistent practices across jurisdictions, it fosters effective financial markets and financial stability, strategic priorities for ESMA. Developed by ESMA's CCP Resolution Committee, the briefing provides a methodology for NRAs to consider when including WDCI in CCP resolution plans. NRAs should define the relevant data to be collected by the CCPs, with a view to calibrate the resources available through a WDCI. In doing so, NRAs should take into account the impact on relevant stakeholders, such as clearing members, financial markets and financial market infrastructures. NRAs should ensure that processes are in place to implement WDCI effectively, including preparations for the subsequent reorganisation of the CCP following the WDCI has been applied. Following the previous briefings on CCP critical functions and resolution cash calls, this briefing contributes to building a single resolution rulebook with a clear focus on operationalisation of the tools available to NRAs.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission today filed an amicus brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit asserting the CFTC’s exclusive jurisdiction over prediction markets. The brief was filed in KalshiEx LLC v. Matthew T. Schuler, et al., No. 26-3196. The filing represents another step in the CFTC’s broader effort to protect its jurisdiction over prediction markets from an ongoing campaign of state encroachment. The amicus brief outlines the comprehensive regulatory scheme designed by Congress, which is implemented by the CFTC, and details how that comprehensive regulatory structure preempts state laws as applied to CFTC-regulated markets.  “The federal district court in Ohio took an improperly narrow view of the Commission’s jurisdiction, and we are asking the Court of Appeals to correct that error,” said CFTC Chairman Michael S. Selig. “As I’ve said repeatedly, the CFTC will not allow overzealous state governments to undermine the agency’s longstanding authority over these markets.” The CFTC has previously filed lawsuits against Arizona, Connecticut, Illinois, New York, and Wisconsin, and secured a preliminary injunction against state regulation of CFTC-regulated prediction markets in Arizona. The CFTC has also filed amicus briefs in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts. RELATED LINKS Amicus Brief

Good morning and thank you Robert for that kind introduction. I’m excited to be here speaking with you all today. As is customary, I must note that the views I share today are my own as Chairman and don’t necessarily reflect those of the Commission. I’d like to begin with a simple but important premise: modern financial markets are too complex, too fast-moving, and too interconnected to be effectively overseen by government agencies alone. That is precisely why self-regulatory organizations exist and continue to matter. Effective oversight in modern markets requires both scale and specialization. Organizations like FINRA and the NFA sit right at the center of that design. They’re closer to the day-to-day activity. They see trends earlier. They can respond faster. And importantly, they bring a level of technical expertise that complements what federal regulators are doing. FINRA’s oversight of broker-dealers, for example, provides more robust oversight of member firms than the SEC could perform alone. Similarly, on the derivatives side, the NFA’s oversight of swap dealers provides a level of continuous supervision that would be difficult for the CFTC to replicate on its own. Having spent time at the SEC and as a securities lawyer, I came to appreciate just how much the regulatory ecosystem depends on FINRA functioning effectively. The system works because FINRA is embedded in it. But even good systems can be better, and one of the biggest opportunities right now is coordination. We live in an increasingly convergent financial ecosystem where activities span both securities and derivatives markets, resulting in CFTC and SEC jurisdictions frequently overlapping. To navigate this, I’m working with Chairman Atkins to harmonize our agencies’ policymaking and oversight to better serve the American people. In recent months, we’ve entered into a memorandum of understanding, launched a joint harmonization initiative, joined the SEC’s Project Crypto, and advanced a common-sense crypto asset taxonomy to deliver clarity to our nation’s builders and innovators. These examples are just the beginning. I expect both of our agencies will soon issue joint requests for comment as the first step toward completing rules for portfolio margining and swap data reporting. There have been ongoing efforts to better align swap data reporting under CFTC rules with security-based swap reporting under SEC Regulation SBSR. This coordination is aimed at reducing discrepancies between the agencies’ rules and improving data quality and usability. We’re also coordinating enforcement like never before. Our parallel actions and information sharing have reduced the risk of duplicative or inconsistent outcomes for the same underlying conduct. When the CFTC and SEC operate in true alignment, whether through coordinated rulemaking, unified priorities, or by simply having staff of both agencies working together, the impact is significant. This collaborative approach not only streamlines compliance and reduces costs for market participants but also enhances regulatory effectiveness, reduces confusion, and strengthens the overall integrity of financial markets. Harmonization between the CFTC and SEC isn’t just efficient, it’s common sense. But the buck doesn’t stop with federal agencies. In order for harmonization to be fully effective, SROs must also coordinate. FINRA and the NFA operate in increasingly overlapping territory. The lines between securities and commodity derivatives are ever-changing, leaving firms navigating both regimes at once, sometimes in ways that weren’t envisioned when the rules were first written. We have a real opportunity here for greater collaboration. Not to merge identities or flatten important differences, but to align the organizations in ways that help regulators and market participants. Coordinated exams, more alignment with recordkeeping, and surveillance. Consistent approaches where appropriate. Shared insights on emerging risks. At the end of the day, market integrity isn’t achieved in silos. It’s the result of a system where regulators, SROs, and market participants are all moving in the same direction, even when they’re playing different roles. SROs are a critical adjuvant to federal market regulation. They extend the reach of regulators, bring expertise to the front lines, and create a feedback loop between policy and practice that makes our entire framework stronger. If we can continue to align where alignment adds value while preserving the specialization that makes each part of the system effective, we move closer to a framework that is not just comprehensive, but internally consistent. And for those of you in the audience who work in legal or compliance, that consistency is not just a convenience, it’s what allows you to allocate resources more effectively, reduce costs and interpretive risk, and focus on what actually matters. That’s a goal worth pursuing. Thank you, and I look forward to the fireside chat.

The Ontario Securities Commission’s Investor Advisory Panel (IAP) today released its 2025 Annual Report  summarizing its activities, submissions, consultations, and meetings. The past year saw a continuation of significant developments that affect retail investors, including advances in technology, more variety in investment products and ways to invest, and increasing uncertainty concerning the economy and the broader geo-political environment. The work of the IAP focused on understanding how these issues are impacting retail investors and then providing the retail investor perspective to the policy and rule-making initiatives of the Commission. The Panel raised issues and made recommendations across a variety of initiatives, reflecting its view that investor protection is essential to realizing all parts of the OSC’s mandate. “Given the rapid pace of change and innovation and the challenging geo-political environment, the IAP believes its work to help bring the views of retail investors and an investor protection lens to OSC policy and rule-making initiatives is vital to healthy, vibrant and safe capital markets,” said IAP Chair Jim Sinclair. “We will continue to focus on the impact of new developments on retail investors and the capital markets, and the need for new strategies and tools, along with a regulatory framework that is proportionate, and maintains a focus on investor protection and the rule of law. We will also continue to develop our knowledge and understanding of issues affecting investors and the capital markets, and further our outreach so we can be suitably prepared to identify and advise the OSC on challenges as they arise for both investors and the capital markets more broadly.” To help the OSC fulfil its investor protection mandate, the IAP’s advice in 2025 covered a wide range of issues and policies related to individual investors, capital formation and competitiveness. It highlighted the importance of collaboration and harmonization within Canada to enhance investor protection and supported the OSC’s leadership on international working groups and its monitoring of international developments. In particular, the IAP recommended the OSC pursue or continue to pursue what the IAP considers to be key opportunities to enhance investor protection, including: Providing disclosure that is accessible, clear and easy to understand for investors especially do-it-yourself investors. Allowing for additional tools, resources and supports to assist investors in their decision-making, together with appropriate safeguards. Considering whether additional measures are needed to regulate finfluencers and reduce or restrict digital engagement practices. Expanding the tools and strategies available to respond to wrongdoing, including enhanced freeze powers and the power to dispose of frozen assets and impose higher sanctions. Finalizing and implementing binding authority for the Ombudsman for Banking Services and Investments as soon as possible and making resources available to investors to make the dispute resolution process as clear and easy to understand as possible. Providing regulatory guidance and setting expectations so the responsibilities (including liabilities) for the risks associated with the deployment and use of AI tools and strategies are clear to all market participants and investors. Assessing the impact on investor protection when considering capital formation initiatives, such as permitting long-term asset funds to be sold to retail investors, and evaluating the investor protection mechanisms that can support effective capital formation. The IAP commends the OSC for its continued efforts to ensure consistency across the regulatory landscape and to guard against systemic risk. The Panel supports the OSC’s outreach to Ontario investors, and notably its Action Plan for Truth and Reconciliation, and looks forward to ongoing engagement with OSC staff as the OSC continues to deliver on its commitments in its Strategic Plan.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) provided its opinion to the European Commission about the intention by the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA) to increase the level of an existing sectoral systemic risk buffer to address risks in the Austrian commercial real estate market. This measure would result in the sum of the other systemically important institutions (O-SII) buffer rate and the combined systemic risk buffer rate exceeding 5% for the targeted exposures of a subset of banks. The EBA does not object to it. The measure increases an existing systemic risk buffer rate from 1% to 3.5% for Austrian credit exposures to non-financial corporations operating in the construction of buildings, specialised construction activities, and real estate services. Exposures to limited profit housing associations are exempt. Institutions are required to apply the measure on a consolidated, sub-consolidated, and individual basis. The higher buffer rate will be phased in, starting at 2% on 1 July 2026 and reaching 3.5% on 1 July 2027. In its opinion to the European Commission, the EBA notes the ongoing concerns of the Austrian FMA regarding macroprudential risks related to commercial real estate exposures in Austria. It calls for continued coordination and effective information sharing among the relevant authorities to ensure that the measures do not negatively affect the functioning of the internal market. Finally, the EBA emphasises the importance of a holistic approach to monitoring existing measures to avoid unintended overlaps in capital requirements. Legal basis On 20 March 2026 the EBA received a notification from the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB) on the intention of the Austrian FMA, to apply Article 133(11) of Directive 36/2013/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (Capital Requirements Directive, CRD). The higher buffer rate would result in the sum of the O-SII buffer rate and the combined systemic risk buffer rate between 5.75% and 6.25% for the targeted exposures of three institutions. In accordance with Article 131(15) and in conjunction with Article 131(5a) of the same Directive, the EBA may within six weeks provide the European Commission its Opinion on the buffer.
