Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Regulatory Clarity and Modernization: SEC Perspectives from the 2026 SIFMA C&L Annual Seminar
Q: What is the SEC's triple focus for regulatory modernization?
To advance modernizing the rulebook, clarify jurisdiction and expectations, and transform outdated provisions to reflect current markets and technologies.
SIFMA Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT) Reform Recommendations
Q: What other changes might the SEC consider that could increase efficiency, reduce costs, and better protect investors?
Potential changes include relaxing interim processing deadlines while preserving regulatory utility, scaling back overly complex tech specs, and expanding SEC oversight including funding, governance, and permanent exemptions where appropriate.
SIFMA Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT) Reform Recommendations
Q: As you look at this holistic review, why do you think Chair Atkins is calling for it now?
The call is seen as long overdue due to the CAT's tortured development, ongoing concerns about customer PII, data governance, funding fairness, and overall cost efficiency, with a push for clearer SEC direction and accountability.
Digital Assets at an Inflection Point
Q: Peter, what's changed in the past year and what makes this different from 12 to 18 months ago?
The market has moved into an inflection point with tokenized assets expanding across securities life cycles, institutional-grade custody and demand rising, all within a more permissive regulatory climate and clearer rules around stablecoins and tokenized deposits.
Market Snapshot: Inflation, Oil Prices, and the Fed with Matthew Luzzetti
Q: What is the long-run impact of AI on productivity and inflation?
AI is expected to boost productivity over time, with near-term inflationary pressures from investment demand in AI-related sectors, but the long-run effect should be productivity-driven deflationary pressure as benefits materialize.
