Getting Back On Base: Statement Of SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce On The Dismissal Of The Civil Enforcement Action Against Coinbase
Date 27/02/2025
Today the Commission settled its case against Coinbase by dismissing it with prejudice. I did not support the action against Coinbase. Among other things, I was concerned that it was part of the Commission’s larger strategy to use its enforcement tool to regulate the crypto industry. Typically, developing regulations to address new industries and business practices is the province of the Commission’s capable, expert policy divisions. The decision by the previous Commission to shift this function to the Division of Enforcement by engaging in a large-scale regulation-by-enforcement initiative harmed the American public, adversely affected the industry, and impeded the ability of the Commission’s skilled and dedicated professional staff to use their expertise as it was intended to be used.

Staff Statement On Meme Coins, SEC Division Of Corporation Finance
Date 27/02/2025
As part of an effort to provide greater clarity on the application of the federal securities laws to crypto assets, the Division of Corporation Finance is providing its views on “meme coins.” A “meme coin” is a type of crypto asset inspired by internet memes, characters, current events, or trends for which the promoter seeks to attract an enthusiastic online community to purchase the meme coin and engage in its trading. Although individual meme coins may have unique features, meme coins typically share certain characteristics. Meme coins typically are purchased for entertainment, social interaction, and cultural purposes, and their value is driven primarily by market demand and speculation. In this regard, meme coins are akin to collectibles. Meme coins also typically have limited or no use or functionality. Given the speculative nature of meme coins, they tend to experience significant market price volatility, and often are accompanied by statements regarding their risks and lack of utility, other than for entertainment or other non-functional purposes.

Community Banking, Federal Reserve Governor Michelle W. Bowman, At The Robbins Banking Institute Lecture Series, Hays, Kansas
Date 27/02/2025
It is a pleasure to join you today at Fort Hays State University for the Robbins Banking Institute Lecture.1 I have been a supporter of this institute since it was first created here at Fort Hays State, including by giving a lecture to students during my tenure as the Kansas State Bank Commissioner. Today, my view is slightly different than at that time, and I thought it would be a good time to share my thoughts on the critical role community banks play, not only in the U.S. banking system but also as drivers of local and regional economic growth and as anchors of their local communities. I will also explore the responsibility of bank regulators to support community banks.

Finansinspektionen Analysis No. 48: Share Of Consumer Credit Debt Registered With Swedish Enforcement Authority Increases During Economic Downturns
Date 27/02/2025
In 2020, almost 130,000 individuals had a debt registered with the Swedish Enforcement Authority that was related to consumer credit. Since the end of 2020, the general price level has increased (inflation) by almost 20 per cent. The Riksbank raised the policy rate during the same period, making it significantly more expensive to borrow money. In 2023, just over 160,000 individuals with consumer credit had new debts registered with the Swedish Enforcement Authority, which represents an increase of 23 per cent since 2020. The new debts, measured in SEK, that were related to consumer credit were 51 per cent higher than they were in 2020.
