2025 represented somewhat of a regulatory reset in the U.S. The start of President Trump’s second-term was marked by the departure of key regulatory figures, most notably SEC Chair Gary Gensler, while other regulators adapted their strategy in line with the new administration’s desire for deregulation and increased use of technology.
This year’s report can be defined by a general sense of apprehension and anticipation. Rapidly evolving market forces, regulatory attitudes and technological advancements are creating a sense of uncertainty in regulated firms – the challenge of upholding high compliance standards in the face of such volatility will be a real challenge for firms not just in 2026, but in the years to come.
