flag U.S. regulators propose rolling back post-2008 bank rules, easing capital requirements for large banks amid concerns over systemic risk.

flag U.S. banking regulators, appointed under the Trump administration, are proposing major changes to post-2008 capital rules, aiming to roll back Biden-era requirements that strengthened financial stability. flag The overhaul, led by figures like Federal Reserve Vice Chair Travis Hill, includes easing the Basel Endgame rules, reducing surcharges on large banks, and relaxing leverage limits and stress tests. flag Industry leaders welcome the move, projecting up to $100 billion in additional capital for lending and shareholder returns. flag Critics, including Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and The Guardian, warn the changes could increase systemic risk, especially amid climate and economic uncertainties. flag Final rules may be issued by mid-2026, with broader implications for bank mergers and cryptocurrency integration.
