Impact on Banking Regulations

The second Trump administration is expected to bring significant changes to banking regulations, particularly affecting capital and liquidity requirements. Analysts anticipate a less aggressive enforcement of existing regulations, which could favor larger financial institutions over smaller banks. Changes may also include increased support for non-traditional charters, potentially benefiting fintech companies. This shift in regulatory tone comes as discussions around the future of bank regulators and their roles rise in importance, especially in light of recent bank collapses.
