Federal Reserve Governor Steve Miran is calling for a full reset of Wall Street banking rules. On Wednesday, while speaking to the Bank Policy Institute, Steve said the Fed needs to fix the entire post-crisis framework before wasting time debating the balance sheet or how much interest it pays on reserves.

“For many years, financial regulation mostly moved in one direction, increasingly restricting the banking sector,” Steve said. He pointed out that the impact of these rules on markets, credit, and monetary policy gets ignored way too often.

He believes this overregulation has pushed traditional banking activity out of the regulated space entirely. “While I have no bias against nonbank financial companies,” he added, “credit allocation should be driven by market forces, not regulatory arbitrage.”

Steve says regulation moved too far after 2008

Steve also said the banking rulebook went into overdrive after the 2008 financial crisis. And now, more than a decade later, the pendulum has swung too far. “Regulators should resist the urge to overreact,” he warned.

His view is that stricter capital rules, especially ones like the enhanced supplementary leverage ratio, forced core lending activity into the shadows, out of reach from formal oversight.

That rule, part of a broader set of global Basel III capital standards, is meant to serve as a backstop to the usual risk-based capital rules. But it’s now under fire. Steve isn’t the only one sounding the alarm either.

Other Trump-backed officials and some top banking voices have also pushed to loosen it. Their argument: the rule punishes banks for holding low-risk assets like Treasuries.

This week, Bloomberg said the Fed and other top regulators submitted a final plan to the White House to revise the leverage ratio.

The update would let the biggest U.S. banks, including JPMorgan, Bank of America, and Goldman Sachs, hold less capital compared to total assets. It’s mostly in line with a proposal from back in June, but not everyone got what they wanted.

Some banks tried and failed to get Treasuries excluded completely from the ratio calculation.

New rule advances as Treasuries outperform swaps

News of the planned changes moved markets fast. After Bloomberg reported it on Tuesday, Treasury bonds outperformed interest-rate swaps, a rival fixed-income instrument.

The spread between five- and 10-year Treasury yields and swap rates tightened to levels not seen since March. Traders saw it as a green light for banks to load up on more Treasuries.

Officials are still aiming to get the rule change finalized “in the coming weeks,” depending on White House sign-off. But that could shift. Nothing is locked in yet. And it’s clear that not every ask from Wall Street made it into the draft.

That said, Steve thinks the focus needs to stay on rewriting the full regulatory setup before the Fed dives back into balance sheet debates or reserve management.

He also pushed for more transparency from the Fed itself. In his words, both the public and the banking industry would gain from knowing what the Fed is doing, and why.

Right now, Steve argued, too much of the regulatory impact is invisible until something breaks. That’s not good enough anymore.

FCA, crackdown on crypto

FCA, crackdown on crypto

The post FCA, crackdown on crypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The regulation of cryptocurrencies in the United Kingdom enters a decisive phase. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has initiated a consultation to set minimum standards on transparency, consumer protection, and digital custody, in order to strengthen market confidence and ensure safer operations for exchanges, wallets, and crypto service providers. The consultation was published on May 2, 2025, and opened a public discussion on operational responsibilities and safeguarding requirements for digital assets (CoinDesk). The goal is to make the rules clearer without hindering the sector’s evolution. According to the data collected by our regulatory monitoring team, in the first weeks following the publication, the feedback received from professionals and operators focused mainly on custody, incident reporting, and insurance requirements. Industry analysts note that many responses require technical clarifications on multi-sig, asset segregation, and recovery protocols, as well as proposals to scale obligations based on the size of the operator. FCA Consultation: What’s on the Table The consultation document clarifies how to apply rules inspired by traditional finance to the crypto perimeter, balancing innovation, market integrity, and user protection. In this context, the goal is to introduce minimum standards for all firms under the supervision of the FCA, an essential step for a more transparent and secure sector, with measurable benefits for users. The proposed pillars Obligations towards consumers: assessment on the extension of the Consumer Duty – a requirement that mandates companies to provide “good outcomes” – to crypto services, with outcomes for users that are traceable and verifiable. Operational resilience: introduction of continuity requirements, incident response plans, and periodic testing to ensure the operational stability of platforms even in adverse scenarios. Financial Crime Prevention: strengthening AML/CFT measures through more stringent transaction monitoring and structured counterpart checks. Custody and safeguarding: definition of operational methods for the segregation of client assets, secure…

From Under $0.0025 to $0.25 Over the Next 10 Weeks? Little Pepe (LILPEPE) Named Best Crypto to Buy in 2025 Over Ripple (XRP)

From Under $0.0025 to $0.25 Over the Next 10 Weeks? Little Pepe (LILPEPE) Named Best Crypto to Buy in 2025 Over Ripple (XRP)

The post From Under $0.0025 to $0.25 Over the Next 10 Weeks? Little Pepe (LILPEPE) Named Best Crypto to Buy in 2025 Over Ripple (XRP) appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The cryptocurrency sector is dynamic and vital for major and minor players alike. With every boom, new categories of tokens are introduced that make new market predictions based on new sets of metrics.  Many believe that, apart from having an appreciated use case that makes it easily attain adoption, Ripple (XRP) has already established itself as a vital part of the blockchain system. But as it turns out, a new competitor, Little Pepe (LILPEPE), has generated significant buzz. Little Pepe is projected to appreciate to 100x its current price of 0.0021, reach 0.25 in 2025, and is considered a top pick for 2025. Ripple (XRP): Dependable but Predictable Ripple has dominated cross-border payment technology for many years. Priced at around $2.98, Ripple remains well supported by partnerships with industry leaders and its increasing contribution to payment processing.  Analysts predict XRP to be at the $7 to $10 range by 2026 and the recent favorable legal rulings Ripple has received in the United States has heightened optimism surrounding the token. For conservative investors, XRP represents stability in an otherwise volatile sector. However, its large market capitalization makes 50x or 100x gains virtually impossible within one cycle. Ripple is a strong asset in the utility sense, but lacks the utility that smaller tokens can bring. Little Pepe (LILPEPE): Presale Energy With a Twist Little Pepe is capturing the attention of investors with its outstanding presale performance. Currently, the presale is in Stage 12, and each stage sells out faster and faster. presale is at $0.0021.  Each stage is selling out faster and faster. Analysts speculate the token could rise to $0.25 within 10 weeks after listing. Such a rise would be one of recent memory’s most remarkable early runs. What makes Little Pepe different is its dual identity. On the surface, it…
