The Securities and Exchange Commission will vote Wednesday on whether to adopt a rule that would require significantly more disclosure from public companies about share repurchases. The planned change comes after Congress last year created a new 1% excise tax on stock buybacks, a levy President Biden has proposed quadrupling.

A. Roy Lavik began serving as CFTC inspector general in 1990. Photo: Office of the Inspector General, Commodity Futures Trading CommissionA federal regulator has suspended its inspector general after an oversight body found that he engaged in “substantial misconduct,” including wasting government funds, outing whistleblowers and disparaging employees, people familiar with the matter said. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which regulates derivatives markets, voted 3-0 to place its inspector general, A. Roy Lavik , on “non-duty status” while it considered what further action to take, the people said. The agency informed leaders of several congressional committees of the move earlier this week, the people said.

More than 3,000 U.S. companies are expected to have to gather and disclose data on their greenhouse-gas emissions and those of their suppliers and customers under a European Union law passed in 2022. The law says non-EU companies can get out of the new rules only if they face equivalent requirements elsewhere.

☆ House Republicans Face Resistance Reviving Stablecoin Bill
  + stars: | 2023-04-20 | by ( Paul Kiernan | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
Crypto imploded in 2022, as investors lost faith in digital assets and the industry was plagued with crisis. WSJ explains how crypto became so interconnected. Illustration: Mallory BranganWASHINGTON—Lawmakers are at odds over how to regulate stablecoins as the fallout from cryptocurrency platform FTX’s collapse last year has left Democrats nervous about strengthening crypto’s ties to the broader financial system. House Republicans and Democrats expressed starkly different views in a hearing Wednesday on previously bipartisan legislation to regulate stablecoins, a type of cryptocurrency that aims to maintain a one-to-one ratio to the dollar. The bill, which Republicans are trying to revive, would create requirements for stablecoin issuers while granting them access to the Federal Reserve’s banking services.
☆ Biden Administration Nudges Federal Workers Back to the Office
  + stars: | 2023-04-13 | by ( Annie Linskey | Paul Kiernan | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Three GOP House members have cited low in-person attendance at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration headquarters in Washington. WASHINGTON—The Biden administration urged federal workers to return to their offices in new guidance that gives agencies broad discretion for how to revamp their work environments and leaves room for some continued telework. The policy is aimed at “substantially increasing in-person work,” said Jason Miller , the Deputy Director for Management at the Office of Management and Budget in an accompanying blog post. The 19-page memo Thursday set no concrete targets for how many federal workers must come back or by when, and it indicated officials would evaluate where remote work has been effective.
☆ Crypto Faces Legal Reckoning as SEC Prepares Action Against Coinbase
  + stars: | 2023-03-24 | by ( Paul Kiernan | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
WASHINGTON—The Securities and Exchange Commission and Coinbase Global Inc. appear headed for a legal showdown that stands to have outsize consequences for both sides. The SEC notified Coinbase that it plans to sue the firm for allegedly violating a range of investor-protection laws, the firm said this week. An eventual SEC lawsuit against the largest U.S. crypto exchange could help determine the future shape of the business of exchanging dollars for digital tokens such as bitcoin, ether or polkadot. It would also be the SEC’s most significant move yet to rein in an industry that Chair Gary Gensler has described as rife with noncompliance—and one that would leave the agency with a black eye should it fail in court.
☆ SEC to Consider New Cybersecurity Rules for Financial Firms
  + stars: | 2023-03-15 | by ( Paul Kiernan | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
WASHINGTON—Brokers and asset managers would have to notify their customers of data breaches as part of a raft of cybersecurity-related rules the Securities and Exchange Commission is set to vote on Wednesday. The customer-notification requirement would give firms no more than 30 days to alert individuals whose sensitive information was likely to have been accessed without authorization. The new rule would come alongside additional expansions to the SEC’s 24-year-old regulation governing financial firms’ protection of customer data, which SEC Chair Gary Gensler tied to soaring reports of identity theft.

WASHINGTON—The Securities and Exchange Commission escalated its enforcement campaign against the cryptocurrency industry Thursday with a settlement that could imperil a lucrative activity for other major crypto firms. On Thursday, Payward Inc.’s Kraken platform agreed to stop offering so-called crypto staking services in the U.S. and pay $30 million in penalties to the SEC.
