“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving."
— Albert Einstein

November saw regulatory activity regain momentum and continue building to full stride.

Key regulatory actions in November are captured in our November 2025 Regulatory Recap, including:

  • Agency perspectives on digital assets and cryptocurrencies (CFTC, OCC, SEC), AI technology and innovation (FRB), and third-party risk management (OCC, BCBS)
  • Supervisory guidance, including operating principles (FRB), revisions to supervisory frameworks (FRB, OCC), and examination priorities (SEC, FSB)
  • Rule withdrawals (FCC, FERC), proposals (e.g., community bank CBLR (FRB, FDIC, OCC)), and final rulemakings (e.g., indexing regulatory thresholds (FDIC))
  • Reports covering AI-driven transformation (NTIA), 2025 enforcement (FERC), and private credit markets (FSB)
