On June 30, 2026, I spoke with Jeff Le Riche and Sarah Razaq Sallis during the latest edition of Husch Blackwell’s Government Enforcement, Compliance & Investigations webinar series.

The session covered the most significant developments in securities and commodities regulation and enforcement in 2025 and 2026—a period defined by the explosive growth of new financial markets and products, a historic regulatory alliance between the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the rise of AI-enabled market surveillance, and active federal legislative efforts on digital assets. We discussed landmark insider trading prosecutions in prediction markets and evolving enforcement priorities across fraud, digital assets, and anti-money laundering (AML) compliance. Jeff and Sarah also provided practical guidance for firms navigating Wells notice reform, AI governance obligations, digital asset classification, and the CFTC’s new self-reporting and cooperation framework.

In the next webinar in the series, I will talk with Cormac Connor, Todd Gee, Michael Schrier, and Julia Kopcienski about the use of the False Claims Act for anti-discrimination enforcement. Be on the lookout for an invitation for July 30.
