Bank lobbyists have secured watered-down capital requirements, a more lenient annual stress-testing framework, scaled-back consumer-protection enforcement and reduced supervision of small banks. These shifts come while Republicans control Congress and Trump-appointed officials lead financial regulators.

- Big Banks Cut Off Conservatives and Christian Groups , OCC Investigation Finds
A report released Wednesday by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) finds that many of America's biggest banks denied or closed services for conservative businesses, Trump merchandise sellers and Christian organizations based on political views and religious beliefs. PNC declined a 2021 credit line to a media company after employees cited its owners' conservative views and funding of groups the SPLC designates as hate groups. Wells Fargo pressed a payment intermediary to drop a religious nonprofit over its views on same-sex marriage, disrupting its recurring donations. JPMorgan Chase, PNC, Wells Fargo and Capital One were cited for denials or closures, while Citibank and Bank of America's examples mainly involved industry restrictions such as coal, firearms and digital assets. The OCC reviewed nine national banks, nearly 100,000 complaints and about 420,000 pages of documents covering 2020 through September 2025.

- Epstein - linked banks face judgment day as Trump deteriorates
President Donald Trump has tried to keep the Epstein files under wraps and reportedly called federal watchdogs off banks linked to Jeffrey Epstein, according to Bloomberg. Key Democrats unveiled the Epstein Wall Street Record Act, which would require regulators including the SEC and Federal Reserve to make supervisory records related to Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell public within 120 days and investigate related banking, securities or anti-money laundering violations. Epstein conducted substantial business with JP Morgan Chase, Deutsche Bank and Bank of America. The bill faces hurdles while Republicans control Congress, but Democrats could gain more power over legislation if they win the November midterms. Senior executives found in violation could be barred from banking, fined or referred to the Justice Department for prosecution.
- OCC releases debanking review of nine largest US banks
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) released findings of a supervisory review into debanking at the nine largest national banks it oversees, including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citibank, Wells Fargo, US Bank, Capital One, PNC, TD Bank and BMO. Conducted under a presidential executive order on fair banking access, the review found all nine banks had maintained policies at some point between 2020 and September 2025 that restricted services based on political or religious beliefs or lawful business activities. The OCC identified 'broad reputation risk' policies lacking specified standards and objective criteria, affecting sectors including oil and gas, coal, firearms, tobacco and digital assets. It assessed nearly 100,000 complaints and about 420,000 pages of bank documents, and says it is considering further action and assessing changes to the framework for the largest banks.
- US probes 9 major banks accused of discriminating against customers
On October 14, the OCC released a 47-page report accusing 9 major U.S. banks, including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citibank, Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank, Capital One, PNC, TD Bank and BMO Bank, of refusing services, closing accounts or limiting credit over political, social or religious views between 2020 and 2025. The report draws on about 100,000 complaints and 50,000 internal bank documents, citing cases such as PNC denying credit to a media company and Wells Fargo refusing loans to two gun businesses. Although all 9 banks said they had revised relevant policies, the OCC considers the remedies insufficient, and the CFPB has opened an investigation into the banks concerned. JPMorgan said a review process previously applied by WePay did not meet its standards, that the issue has been addressed and WePay has ceased operations, and that its current policies prohibit discrimination based on political or religious views.
- Federal watchdog says 9 large US banks denied service to customers over political or religious views
The Comptroller of the Currency said in a regulatory review released Wednesday that the nine largest US banks denied financial services to customers based on political, religious or social beliefs. The OCC reviewed nearly 100,000 complaints and about 50,000 documents from JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citibank, Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank, Capital One, PNC, TD Bank and BMO. It found the banks' internal guidelines lacked objective, risk-based criteria, and that lenders restricted sectors such as oil and gas, coal mining, firearms, detention facilities, and tobacco or e-cigarettes. All nine banks said they reassessed reputation risk in customer decisions, while the Bank Policy Institute, a lobbying group representing the banks, said it supports clear standards that promote access while managing financial risk.

- Is Palantir Stock a Buy After its Latest Earnings Report?
Palantir shares fell more than 5% after the third-quarter report and are now 16% below their all-time high, as investors worried that total contract value (TCV) rose just 6% year over year after a 49% jump in the second quarter. Third-quarter revenue reached $2.31 billion, up 96%, with U.S. commercial revenue rising 148% to $984 million, and for the first time it exceeded U.S. government revenue. TCV reached $2.92 billion; CFO Dave Glazer said several large contracts were shorter than usual as customers began adopting its Sovereign AI capabilities, and the company expects these agreements to grow in size and duration. Total remaining deal value rose 55% to $13.4 billion, and the company raised its full-year revenue guidance to about 91% growth. The author says the valuation remains high at 108x forward P/E and 51x forward price-to-sales, but still holds the shares and sees the long-term opportunity as larger than any single year's price target.
- Bitcoin vs Nvidia: $10,000 Invested 5 Years Ago, Which Is Worth More Now?
A $10,000 investment in NVIDIA made on November 3, 2021 had grown to about $76,300 by November 2, 2026, a 663% gain, while the same amount in Bitcoin had reached only about $12,200. The article attributes the gap to NVIDIA's earnings growth: fiscal 2026 revenue was $215.9 billion, up 65.5%, whereas Bitcoin has no revenue structure and its price depends solely on market demand. Bitcoin traded at $77,609, down about 38.4% from its all-time high of $126,080, while NVIDIA fell 13.6% over the month to November 2. Both assets are affected by investor risk sentiment and the rise of AI, as major cloud companies plan nearly $800 billion in 2026 capital projects. The author notes that if NVIDIA's future earnings fall short of expectations, both assets could trend lower.
- Tether Holds 150,000 Bitcoin, CEO Says—About 50,000 More Than Its Reserve Report Shows
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said the company holds about 150,000 Bitcoin, worth roughly $11.5 billion, about 50,000 coins more than its Q3 reserve attestation implies. That attestation lists $8.37 billion of Bitcoin at $83,621 per coin, or roughly 100,060 BTC, leaving around 50,000 coins (close to $3.8 billion) not reflected in its public filings. Ardoino did not say where the extra Bitcoin is held or when it was acquired, and Tether has said its corporate Bitcoin sits separately from the reserves backing USDT. The company has accumulated Bitcoin for years and reported $1.5 billion in net operating profit in the third quarter alone. The issue touches on Tether's long-running scrutiny over USDT backing, as it began its first full financial audit with KPMG this year.
- AMD Stock Surges After Hours As Q3 Sales Surge 45% On AI Boom, And Expectations For 80% Revenue Jump In 2027
AMD reported record third-quarter revenue of $13.4 billion, up 45% year-over-year, driven by strong demand for AI processors and data center chips. Data Center revenue reached $8.5 billion, up 97%, on demand for EPYC server CPUs and Instinct MI450 accelerators, and Microsoft, Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic and Oracle have deployed AMD's server solutions. Adjusted earnings per share rose 74% to $2.09, beating analysts' expectations of $13.1 billion in revenue and $1.97 per share. By contrast, Client and Gaming revenue fell 8% to $3.7 billion, with gaming down 40% to $773 million on lower semi-custom console orders, while industry memory chip shortages and rising component prices weighed on consumer PC demand. For Q4 2026, AMD expects revenue of about $17 billion, plus or minus 3%, a 66% year-over-year increase at the midpoint and above the average analyst projection of $16.3 billion; the company expects 2027 revenue to grow more than 80%.
