Today the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) announced enforcement proceedings against Emerita Resources Corp., five of its directors and officers, as well as an individual related to the alleged misconduct. The OSC alleges that several of Emerita’s directors and officers — David Gower, Lawrence Guy, Damian Lopez, and Gregory Duras – as well as Hélio Diniz, participated in actions which ultimately diverted lithium mining claims in Brazil, known as the Falcon Project, away from Emerita to their benefit. The OSC alleges that these individuals participated in the creation of a newly formed company, Lithium Ionic Corp., to pursue Falcon Project claims, where they became shareholders and assumed senior roles. The OSC alleges that this conduct defrauded Emerita and its investors. In addition, Gower, Guy, Lopez and Duras are alleged to have caused Emerita to issue misleading statements that the company had “relinquished” the project, while senior insiders were pursuing it through Lithium Ionic. In addition, it is alleged that Gower and Diniz misled the OSC during the investigation about matters relating to the Falcon Project. Further, between 2017 to 2023, the OSC alleges Emerita’s public filings contained untrue or misleading statements about another project — the Plaza Norte zinc project in Spain — including about the status of the project permit and Emerita’s ownership interest in the joint venture pursuing the project. The OSC alleges these statements were approved or allowed by Gower, Lopez, Duras, and Joaquin Merino Marquez. A case management hearing will take place before the Capital Markets Tribunal on May 8, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. A copy of the OSC’s Application for Enforcement Proceeding is available on the Tribunal’s 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.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published a Decision harmonising how National Competent Authorities (NCAs) report under the SEPA Regulation. The Decision complements the existing European Commission’s Implementing Regulation which requires all Payment Service Providers (PSPs) to report data on charges for credit transfers and payment accounts, as well as the shares of transactions rejected due to EU sanctions. The Decision streamlines the second step of this reporting process – from the NCAs to the EBA and the European Commission. By introducing a single reporting channel through the EBA, the Decision reduces the administrative burden on NCAs and ensures that both the EBA and the European Commission receive consistent, high-quality data. This supports the Commission in monitoring that consumers benefit from access to instant credit transfers across the EU, and that these are not more expensive than standard credit transfers. The Decision stipulates that the NCAs will now report this information only to the EBA, and the EBA will then make it available to the European Commission. The Decision also clarifies that when NCAs already possess some of the required data, they are responsible for ensuring its accuracy and completeness without re-collecting it from PSPs. Furthermore, the Decision amends the Annex to the EBA’s EUCLID Decision to incorporate this new reporting requirement. The Decision takes effect immediately. Legal basis Article 15(3) of the SEPA Regulation requires PSPs to report to their competent authorities every 12 months “(a) the level of charges for credit transfers, instant credit transfers and payment accounts; (b) the share of rejections separately for national and cross-border payment transactions, due to the application of the targeted financial restrictive measures.” Article 15(4) of the SEPA Regulation requires that “competent authorities shall provide the Commission and EBA with the information reported to them by PSPs under paragraph 3, and the information on the volume and value of instant credit transfers in euro which have been sent, both national and cross-border, by PSPs established in their Member State in the course of the preceding calendar year.” ​Article 53 of the EBA Regulation establishes the tasks of the EBA Executive Director, including implementation of the annual work programme, and adoption of internal administrative instructions and the publication of notices.  Documents Decision on reporting of data from NCAs to EBA and EC under SEPA Regulation (307 KB - PDF) Related content Draft Implementing Technical StandardsAdopted and published in the Official Journal of the EU Implementing Technical standards for uniform reporting under the Single Euro Payments Area Regulation Topic Payment services and electronic money

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.

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.
