Lots of news out of the UK this week, including just-announced final text of new crypto-assets regulation. Not to be outdone, U.S. regulatory agencies continue to be quite active, including an important enforcement action from the CFTC and SEC regarding off-channel business communications at major financial institutions. Readers will also want to take a look at the important speech from Federal Reserve Board Governor Michelle Bowman on supervision and regulation.

Pardon the commercial, but here's a plug for our upcoming 2022 Finance Forum in Charlotte. The agenda is taking shape, and we just announced a compelling keynote speaker. There's more info below, including the registration link.
