US Banking Regulations Under Scrutiny After Recent Failures and Lobbying Pressure.

Senator Elizabeth Warren and ten other senators are calling for the Federal Reserve to tighten regulations on large regional banks with assets between $100 billion and $250 billion, following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. The lawmakers argue that the 2018 rollback of Dodd-Frank freed these banks from the toughest oversight, leading to irresponsible and excessive risk-taking. The Fed has launched a review of Silicon Valley Bank's regulation and oversight, and is rethinking some of its own rules related to midsize banks. Warren has long been a regulation hawk, pushing for tough rules to prevent a repeat of the 2008 crisis.
