Today, I had the pleasure of visiting the Metro Atlanta Chamber's Executive Committee to discuss the work we've advanced at the SEC to strengthen and grow our capital markets.
Under my leadership, we are getting back to first principles and rejecting institutional drift by:
✅ Simplifying and streamlining our regulatory regime
✅ Reinvigorating capital formation in the U.S.
✅ Delivering much-needed clarity in the digital asset market
✅ Coordinating across regulators
Many thanks to the Metro Atlanta Chamber for hosting and to Jeff Sprecher for a great conversation.

Under the leadership of @POTUS and @SecScottBessent, @USComptroller Jonathan V. Gould is ending the weaponization of finance. Read about the OCC’s supervisory review of debanking activities in its nine largest national banks and its efforts to guarantee fair banking for all Americans. occ.gov/FairBanking
ALT A person signs a document at a desk in an office setting, surrounded by three others standing in the background. An emblem for the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is visible. The text reads, "Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans.
READ: Commissioner Mark Uyeda's latest in @FinancialTimes ⬇️
"The US Securities and Exchange Commission’s commitment to its mission remains unchanged, despite the departure of my good friend, Commissioner Hester Peirce.
Suggesting that the SEC is 'hastily revamp[ing]' its quorum rule so that the remaining commissioners can 'have their way' makes for a colourful comparison to fictional dystopian regimes but misleads readers about why the Commission revised its quorum rule and why it’s for the better."

TODAY: The Commission proposed amendments to the Investment Company Act “cross-trading rule,” which permits transactions in securities between a registered fund and its affiliates under certain conditions.
The proposed amendments would modernize and expand the cross-trading rule and would allow cross trades that are beneficial to registered funds and their shareholders (by, for example, reducing a fund’s trading costs), subject to enhanced investor protection measures.

Relationship investment scams can start with a simple text or DM.
Scammers try to form a friendship with you — before offering a phony investment opportunity. Once the bait is taken, they vanish, along with your money. Talk about a bad friend.

As we head into the 2027 proxy season, the Commission’s 21(a) report reminds asset managers and investors of their responsibilities with respect to shareholder engagement, especially in the context of organized efforts that follow a playbook similar to that of Climate Action 100+.
Shareholders have the right to express their views on a particular topic and explain their voting decisions. Congress has mandated that shareholders, acting individually or as a group, owning more than five percent of a public company must disclose their plans and other information if they seek to change or influence control of the company.

The Committee thanks Commissioner Hester Peirce for her years of distinguished service to the SEC.
Throughout her tenure, Commissioner Peirce worked closely with the Committee to help advance efforts to support capital formation and establish a clear regulatory framework for digital assets that protects consumers and encourages American-led innovation.
We are grateful for Commissioner Peirce’s service and wish her continued success in the years ahead.
This week, the Division of Trading and Markets staff issued a statement and is interested in your comment regarding the affiliation between registered national securities exchanges trading security futures and introducing broker-dealers.

Commissioner @HesterPeirce's dedication, intellect, and humor will be sorely missed, but her example will ever endure in the Commission’s culture and standard of excellence.
TODAY 🚨: The Commission proposed new rules and amendments to provide a tailored framework for the custody of crypto assets for registered investment advisers and regulated funds, i.e. registered investment companies and business development companies.
The Commission’s proposal would modernize custody rules and expand investor choice by removing regulatory barriers that inhibit the adviser’s ability to provide crypto-related investment advice.
