“Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while bamboo survives through flexibility."
— Bruce Lee
Flexibility—agility—is needed to meet regulatory expectations for new and emerging risks.
In May, we have seen heightened attention to:
- Digital assets, including additional proposals to implement payment stablecoins, speeches addressing opportunities/risks related to tokenized assets and cryptographic technologies, and efforts to establish a new “payment account” with the Federal Reserve Banks.
- Disruptive technologies (e.g., AI, cyber threats), including initiatives to fortify critical infrastructure, expand the scope of the AI Consortium, offer guidance on adopting agentic AI, and alert entities to compliance requirements related to new privacy laws.
- Unique concerns across industries, including efforts to promote initial public offerings, consider repurposing certain drugs, harness drone technologies, and evaluate antitrust as part of merger application reviews.
