The Commodity Futures Trading Commission opened a review of rules that may hinder fintech partnerships with futures commission merchants, swap dealers, exchanges, and clearinghouses. The review is expected to focus on outsourcing, vendor due diligence, regulator access to records, cybersecurity testing, and data retention under Regulation 1.31. Chairman Rostin Behnam and Commissioners Caroline D. Pham, Christy Goldsmith Romero, Summer K. Mersinger, and Kristin N. Johnson have emphasized modernization and risk management. Parallel actions by the Federal Reserve, FDIC, OCC, and the SEC have increased scrutiny of third-party providers. Derivatives firms rely on vendors for surveillance, analytics, and cloud services from companies such as Eventus, NICE Actimize, Chainalysis, and major cloud providers. Founders can prepare by mapping control responsibilities, aligning to SOC 2 and ISO 27001, and demonstrating compliant data retention and auditability.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Senator Pete Ricketts introduced a bipartisan bill on June 18, 2026 to strengthen partnerships between banks and fintech companies. The proposal arrives after the OCC, FDIC, and Federal Reserve issued interagency third-party risk guidance in June 2023 and after market disruptions such as the 2024 Synapse bankruptcy. Sponsor banks have increased audits, monitoring, and vendor oversight, raising onboarding timelines and costs for fintech programs. The bill could standardize due diligence, clarify control ownership, and coordinate examinations, or it could impose more prescriptive requirements that concentrate partnerships among larger sponsors. Founders and banks should update partner agreements, automate reconciliation of pooled accounts, and align risk dashboards and incident playbooks with existing guidance while tracking the bill's progress through Congress.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Senators introduced a bill directing the Government Accountability Office to study bank fintech partnerships and their oversight across the OCC, FDIC, Federal Reserve, and CFPB. The review would assess charter renting concerns, dispute resolution in multi party arrangements, and the clarity of consumer disclosures about where funds are held. Regulators have already raised expectations through the June 2023 Interagency Guidance on Third Party Risk Management. Recent shocks, including Synapse's 2024 bankruptcy that disrupted access to funds at several fintech apps, have highlighted operational risks. Enforcement actions at Cross River Bank in 2023 and at Blue Ridge Bank in 2022 and 2023 show supervisors' focus on third party oversight. Founders should prepare for tighter controls, longer onboarding, and greater demands for audits, contingency plans, and transparent disclosures.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Trew covers: An overview of the executive order and advisory Financial typologies of suspicious activity linked to illegal immigration that FinCEN has identified — for individual consumers, small businesses and large businesses Scrutiny on the use of individual taxpayer identification numbers, or ITINs, to open accounts, and the technical complexities of differentiating between ITINs and other identifiers How banks can stay in the loop on developments, particularly future changes to the customer due diligence and customer identification program rules

Steve Plunk was the OCC examiner at the center of the Penn Square Bank collapse, one of the most consequential bank failures in American history. He sits down with Travillian's Amber Buker to revisit the oil-fueled bank that fooled the biggest names in banking, the one line on the balance sheet that brought it down, and where that same blind spot is hiding in banks today.

In this episode of AML Conversations, John Byrne is joined by Sarah Beth Felix, author of Dirty Money Weekly, for an in-depth discussion on the biggest developments impacting financial crime compliance professionals. From recent OCC and FDIC consent orders to evolving executive orders shaping fintech and AML regulation, Sarah shares sharp, practical insights drawn from the front lines. The conversation highlights why “a clean audit is not a good audit,” the risks hidden in fintech-bank partnerships, and how even small institutions can fall into critical compliance gaps. Sarah also breaks down the real-world challenges posed by new policy directives—and why many may be harder to implement than they appear. The episode closes with a must-hear reminder for AML teams: focus on what truly matters—identifying and reporting suspicious activity that law enforcement can actually use. If you're not getting feedback on your SARs, it may be time to take a closer look at your program.

Welcome back to Fintech Recap. I'm Alex Johnson, joined as always by my partner in recapping, Jason Mikula. We kick things off with the accelerating trend of fintech companies becoming banks. Chime's CEO confirmed it's a matter of when, not if — reversing their "we're a software company" stance. Mercury got conditional OCC approval for a national bank charter the same week it raised $200M at a $5.2B valuation. We explore what the fintech-to-bank stampede does to your valuation (our case studies are Chime, SoFi, and LendingClub), and why some companies chartering today might wish they hadn't. Then, BaaS Island calls us back (I'm a sucker for the sirens' song). The OCC issued a consent order against Community Federal Savings Bank, a single-branch institution in Queens that grew from $140M to $900M in assets by running fintech partner programs for Airwallex, Wise, Payoneer, among others. We discuss why the OCC acted, and why the order is unusually narrow. From there, we walk through two executive orders from the White House on fintech and bank regulation and the Federal Reserve's convoluted master account situationship. Finally, in our Can't Let It Gos: Jason can't let go of SpaceX dumping on retail investors as exit liquidity for their VCs, and I can't let go of PayPal's settlement with the DOJ over a fair lending investigation into a program that never made a single loan. Truly, this will haunt me forever! This episode is brought to you by Persona.  The best fintechs expand what's possible for users. Persona does that for fraud prevention.

Andrew Olmem, managing partner of Mayer Brown's Washington office and a former deputy director of the National Economic Council, talks about how the second Trump administration has moved much faster than the first to reshape financial regulation. He discusses why he believes bank supervision became too bureaucratic and too focused on process, how the administration is approaching capital and the Fed, and what stablecoins, the Clarity Act and OCC preemption could mean for the future of the regulatory system.

The OCC's 376-page proposed rule under the GENIUS Act is converting stablecoin policy into binding compliance requirements with formal issuer categories. Paxos, BitGo, and Ripple all received OCC trust charter approvals, but a trust charter does not guarantee Fed payment rail access. Klarivis data shows deposit movement from stablecoin-adjacent products is already measurable at community banks. The 26-month application timeline puts anyone starting today against a potential administration change, and sponsor bank programs face new pressure from charter competition and yield-based products.Bank charter confusion, trust charter risks, and Fed Master Account access gaps are creating real problems for fintech operators, sponsor banks, and community bank executives right now. Tedd Huff, CEO of fintech advisory firm Voalyre and founder of Fintech Confidential, and co-host Steve Bishop sit down on Inside the Vault with three former and current regulatory insiders: Syed Raza, former Acting Chief Innovation Officer at the OCC and Managing Director at FTI Consulting; Michele Alt, Co-Founder and Managing Director at Klaros Group; and Ian Moloney, Chief Policy Officer at the American Fintech Council.Find out more1️⃣ Answer four questions before filing: who grants the charter, what powers it includes, what activities are limited, and who examines the institution.2️⃣ Start compliance documentation now; controls, funds flow maps, and exception handling should be ready before the examiner asks.3️⃣ Read the conditions attached to charter approvals; those conditions reveal what regulators did not trust in the application.4️⃣ Align cost sharing, control ownership, and data ownership with your partner before examination forces the conversation.5️⃣ Price the M&A path into your charter strategy; the 26-month timeline means the political window may close before your application clears.Guest LinksSyed RazaFTI ConsultingMichele AltKlaros GroupIan MoloneyAmerican Fintech CouncilSteve BishopFintech ConfidentialPodcast: https://fintechconfidential.com/listenNotifications: https://fintechconfidential.com/accessLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/fintechconfidentialX: https://x.com/FTconfidentialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fintechconfidentialFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/fintechconfidentialSupportersUnder: Streamline your application and underwriting process by digitizing PDFs for digital signature. under.io/ftcSkyflow: Zero-trust data privacy vault delivered as an API covering PCI, CCPA, GDPR, and SOC 2 compliance. skyflowsecure.comHawk AI: Real-time payment screening, ML transaction monitoring, and dynamic customer risk rating to fight fraud and financial crime. gethawkai.comAbout the GuestsSyed Raza is a Managing Director at FTI Consulting with over 30 years in risk management and regulatory compliance.

Alex Thorn talks with Nathan McCauley, CEO of Anchorage, about Anchorage winning crypto's first national bank charter and how they spent years fighting the very regulator that granted it. Now the OCC lane is reopening, competitors are piling in, and CEO Nathan McCauley explains what it means for crypto's next phase. Alex also speaks with Beimnet Abebe (Galaxy Trading) about markets. Participants, along with Galaxy Digital, hold a financial interest in Anchorage Digital and Bitcoin (BTC). Galaxy regularly engages in buying and selling BTC, including hedging transactions, for its own proprietary accounts and on behalf of its counterparties. Galaxy also provides services to vehicles that invest in BTC.  If the value of such assets increases, those vehicles may benefit, and Galaxy's service fees may increase accordingly. The valuation in this communication is based on technical, fundamental, and market analysis and not on any formal valuation method. For more information, please refer to Galaxy's public filings and statements. Cryptocurrencies, including BTC, are inherently volatile and risky and ultimate market movements may not align with this statement. For additional risks related to digital assets, please refer to the risk factors contained in filings Galaxy Digital Inc. makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) from time to time, including its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, available at www.sec.gov.

Many cars have dashboards that are already watching you, turning the wheel for you, stopping the car for you. These cars seem "convenient" to some, but convenience is always how the technocrats get in to your door like a vampire invited to dinner. Cars are watching your eyes, seeing if you squint, checking to see if you look away from the road just for a second. With this, they're taken over by the robotic system and pulled over. Many report squinting only for their cars to see that as "impairment" followed by the car breaking, including in the middle of freeways. Countless people are complaining for example about Subaru's AI "Eye Sight" system which is wrongly pulling people over. Biden-era federal mandates intend to force this surveillance in new model cars as of 2027. Considering Republicans are also voting for mass surveillance, there's no evidence this will be shut down. This initiative can actually force you to be tested for impairment before driving as if you have a DUI court order. Guilty until proven innocent. These provisions can also lead to the car searching police databases against your face and calling the police on you. It can self drive you in some models to the police station locked in your car! This is happening (not coincidentally) as governments move to ban private car ownership. This is also happening as poverty strikes millions more people, employment crashes due to AI and posters are hung throughout US cities saying things like "Stop Hiring Humans." Any remaining independence humans have will be thrown to the wayside as UBI, food rations and digital IDs are introduced. AI powered banks are already being conditionally approved by the OCC complete with stable-coin digital currencies. They are rolling out 15 Minute Cities across the board and they plan to force you into the gulag of "convenience." Most will bow to this new system. The truth is, we are being farmed by Godless machines. We are the cattle to the hive mind. All they need is the right crisis. Good thing they're manufacturing about 100 crises at a time right now.

Most fintechs treat cross border payments as a cost centre. George Davis built a business that treats it as the $100B infrastructure opportunity nobody else is rebuilding, and grew 55X in 12 months doing it.In this episode I speak with George Davis, Co-Founder and CEO of Lorum, a global clearing and settlement infrastructure business serving financial institutions across the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and beyond. George is a serial founder who previously co-founded BVNK before leaving to rebuild the layer of the payments stack that big banks have left untouched.Key takeaways:The payment system isn't broken; banks running it are wrongly incentivisedWhy stablecoins add friction to cross border payments rather than removing themHow mid market fintechs can access wholesale treasury rates and turn FX into a profit centreWhat access to clearing infrastructure actually means for remittance, payroll, and import-export businessesWhy Lorum 55X'd in 12 months by going after the bottom of the payments stackGeorge also shares the founder mindset behind Lorum's growth: first principles thinking, radical adaptability, and hiring for obsession over experience.

This bonus episode of Public Keys was recorded live at Consensus. Host Jennifer Sanasie sits down with three guests at the center of crypto in the public markets. Grayscale's Krista Lynch breaks down how crypto ETFs have evolved from simple bitcoin access into index products, in-kind creation for crypto whales, and early staking. Morgan Stanley's Amy Oldenburg explains how MSBT became the firm's most successful ETF launch ever — $230 million in three and a half weeks at 14 bps — while the firm simultaneously rolls out spot crypto trading across its $7 trillion wealth platform. And BitGo CEO Mike Belshe joins four months into his IPO to discuss the firm's OCC charter and why the Clarity Act matters more as a legislative stamp of approval than anything it changes on day one. - Timecodes: 00:00 Welcome to Public Keys: A Bonus Episode from Consensus 00:55 Grayscale's Krista Lynch Joins Public Keys 01:30 Eight Single-Token ETFs and the Rise of Crypto Indexing 02:20 In-Kind ETF Creation Brings Crypto Whales to Wall Street 04:00 Why Crypto Whales Want ETF Exposure 06:00 Advisor Education and the State of Crypto Onboarding 07:00 Staking Comes to the ETF Wrapper 08:30 Morgan Stanley's Amy Oldenburg Joins Public Keys 09:00 The 50 bps Spot Crypto Trading Fee 10:00 Top-of-House Alignment at Morgan Stanley 11:00 What Was Happening Behind the Scenes in 2024 12:30 MSBT: $230M and Morgan Stanley's Most Successful ETF Launch Ever 14:00 Over-Hyped or Underrated: $1B in MSBT by Year-End 16:00 BitGo CEO Mike Belshe Joins Public Keys 17:00 Four Months Into Life as a Public Company 17:30 The Institutionalization of Crypto Infrastructure 18:30 Why the Genius and Clarity Acts Matter 20:30 Coinbase Still Charges Retail 130 bps 22:30 BitGo's OCC Charter and the Future of Reserve Banking 23:30 What the Clarity Act Actually Changes 24:30 TradFi Is Waiting for the Legislative Stamp of Approval - This episode was hosted by Jennifer Sanasie.

Trump just signed his biggest crypto executive order yet, giving the Fed 120 days to evaluate opening payment rails to Coinbase, Kraken, Circle, Ripple, and Anchorage. The move could break the bank monopoly on Fed plumbing right as Bitcoin sits at $76K after $1B in ETF outflows and $660M in liquidations. Add Warren's attack on OCC crypto charters, JPMorgan saying Bitcoin ETFs are recovering 2X faster than Ethereum, Goldman dumping XRP and Solana for Hyperliquid, and the SEC readying tokenized stocks, and you have one of the most pivotal weeks of the cycle. Is this the bottom, or the setup for Bitcoin's next leg higher? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Richard Hunt, executive chairman of the Electronic Payments Coalition, discusses the expanding fight over interchange and why the battle is no longer centered only in Washington. He explains what is happening in states like Illinois and Colorado, why the OCC stepped in, and what could happen next in the courts and legislatures.

The options tape is noisy. Intraday volatility cycles, 0DTE reflexes, ETF-driven options growth, and increasingly granular expiration schedules are reshaping how liquidity forms, migrates, and occasionally disappears. This session examines where activity is truly concentrating across index and single-stock products, including the continued expansion of daily expirations into select equities, and how that evolution is influencing spreads, hedging behavior, market-maker capacity, and risk transfer. Panelists will explore how product design is steering flow through defined outcome ETFs, single-stock ETFs, cash-settled index expansion, and targeted daily expirations and discuss what these structural shifts imply for market stability, education, and liquidity quality over the next 12–24 months. Moderator: Henry Schwartz, Vice President, Market Intelligence, Cboe Global Markets Panelists: Annabelle Baldwin, Chief Revenue Officer, SpiderRock Shelly Brown, Executive Vice President, Chief Strategy Officer, MIAX Geralyn Endo, Head of Options Business Development, MEMX This panel is proudly sponsored by OCC.

HELP SUPPORT US AS WE DOCUMENT HISTORY HERE: https://gogetfunding.com/help-keep-wam-alive/# Josh Sigurdson talks with Mark Gonzales about the new Peter Thiel connected AI powered bank that has received conditional approval by the OCC. The bank which is named "Augustus Bank" after the Roman emperor was started by a 25 year old named Ferdinand Dabitz. The protege of Peter Thiel, a blatant technocrat has launched this bank which will use "stablecoins" in a "decentralized" way to manage transactions, day or night, 7 days a week unlike banks that close. Tyranny comes under the guise of convenience. The bank isn't decentralized as they say as AI and some humans will surveil transactions and decide what does and does not go through under the guise of "stopping money laundering." 8 banks since 2010 have similarly been approved under the same guidelines and Augustus Bank is currently awaiting Fed approval. What's interesting is that regardless of CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies), one can push the populace into digital currencies by private corporations simply out of convenience and public demand. Much like VISA and Mastercard, these tools were not mandated but are nearly unavoidable when shopping in a big city now. It's clear that the digital banking system will work in the same way, regardless of any mandates. This can be extremely dangerous. The entire global banking system is going digital and alongside digital IDs and social credit will be unavoidable. In this video, Mark Gonzales breaks down the lead up to this agenda, how it's being put in place, what it will look like, other major stories that connect to this including the 63 central banks that have adopted Basel 3 bail-in regimes and what can be done about this.

This week, Elliot Berman and John Byrne break down a packed slate of AML and financial crime developments shaping the global landscape. They start in the U.S. with two new FinCEN alerts—one highlighting Iran's use of front companies, digital assets, and complex corporate structures to evade sanctions, and another warning of heightened human trafficking risks tied to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The conversation expands into broader trafficking concerns From there, they unpack the OCC's latest risk perspective, emphasizing persistent cyber threats, rising fraud sophistication, and mounting pressure on compliance systems amid geopolitical tensions. On Capitol Hill, attention turns to the Clarity Act and its push to build a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies—alongside mounting concerns from banks and law enforcement about stablecoins, AML enforcement, and investigative visibility. Internationally, they discuss Canada's dramatic increase in AML penalties, AUSTRAC's updated risk outlook and virtual asset focus, Switzerland's proposed AML rule changes, and The EU's push toward a unified anti-corruption strategy.

Crypto regulation in Q1 2026 reshaped the stablecoin and digital asset markets with the OCC's 376-page Genius Act proposed rule, the SEC's five-category crypto asset classification, and new AML data from FATF and Chainalysis. Tedd Huff, CEO of fintech advisory firm Voalyre and founder of Fintech Confidential, breaks it all down with Robert Musiala, Partner at Baker Hostetler and co-lead of their Web3 practice.The OCC introduced the PPSI framework that every future stablecoin issuer must follow, while at least 15 crypto-native companies raced to file trust charter applications. The SEC named 18 tokens as digital commodities, replaced the "decentralization" test with a central party control standard, and Chairman Atkins previewed up to three safe harbor proposals under a tentative Regulation CA. On the enforcement side, 84% of illicit crypto transactions in 2025 involved stablecoins, the DOJ seized $61 million in USDT, and North Korea expanded state-sponsored theft into remote IT worker schemes targeting US businesses.Find out more1️⃣ Map your Genius Act transition now; the 18-month implementation window is closing fast and companies that filed trust charters in late 2025 are already positioned.2️⃣ Vet every outsourced IT vendor accepting stablecoin payments for shell company ties to state-sponsored actors.3️⃣ Audit your tokens against the SEC's five-bucket test before the safe harbor proposals drop.4️⃣ Stress test your AML program against stablecoin-specific risks like peer-to-peer transfers, multi-hop wallet chains, and shell IT vendor payments flagged by the DOJ and FATF in Q1.5️⃣ Model your Q3 budget with and without yield revenue in case the OCC's related third-party restrictions survive.LINKSGuestRobert MusialaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-musiala/Baker Hostetler: https://www.bakerlaw.com/people/robert-musialaBlockchain Monitor: https://www.blockchainmonitor.com/CompanyBaker HostetlerWebsite: https://www.bakerlaw.com/Web3 & Digital Assets Team: https://www.bakerlaw.com/practices/web3-digital-assetsLegal Resources: https://www.bakerlaw.com/insightsHostTedd Huff: https://www.linkedin.com/in/teddhuff/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/fintechconfidentialFintech ConfidentialYoutube: https://youtube.com/@fintechconfidentialPodcast: https://fintechconfidential.com/listenNewsletter: https://fintechconfidential.com/accessLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/fintechconfidentialX: https://x.com/FTconfidentialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fintechconfidentialFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/fintechconfidentialSUPPORTERSDFNS: Wallets as a service, API first, multi-chain, secured with MPC across 50+ blockchains - fintechconfidential.com/dfnsSkyflow: Zero trust data privacy vault for PCI, CCPA, GDPR, SOC 2 compliance - skyflowsecure.comHawk: AI tools for real-time payment screening and fraud prevention - gethawkai.comABOUTRobert Musiala is a Partner at Baker Hostetler where he co-leads the firm's Web3 practice.

Amy Ellefson teaches in a classroom most people never see. Inside the Omaha Correctional Center, she works with students enrolled in UNO TRAC. That stands for Transforming, Renewing, Achieving, and Connecting. It's a grant-funded program out of UNO's School of Criminology and Criminal Justice that brings college courses to incarcerated students, with a path to continue their education at UNO once they're released. Amy is a lecturer in the School of Communication with a Ph.D. from the University of Southern Mississippi. Teaching at OCC means no laptops, no staples, no jewelry, no electronics. No index cards either, until the prison's tech offered to make them out of cardstock for her. Amy walks us through the process, then tells the story of Terry, an OCC student whose MAV Talks speech about Nebraska's "life-means-life" law she recorded because he couldn't be there to give it himself. Terry is incarcerated for life. The audience didn't know where the recording came from until it was over.  Amy keeps coming back to a line of her own: "I feel like sometimes I get more than they do."

In this episode of AML Conversations, Elliot Berman is joined by Jennie Jonas, Senior Vice President of Financial Crime Advisory, to discuss the recent surge in fintechs pursuing OCC limited-purpose trust charters. They explore what's driving this trend, how limited trust charters differ from full bank charters, and why these structures are especially attractive for fintechs operating in payments and digital assets. The conversation also dives into common misconceptions, the reality of “bank‑grade” AML and governance expectations, and what fintechs should prepare for before—and after—receiving a charter. From compliance program design and OCC examination rigor to risk governance, board expectations, and the future evolution of charter authorities, this episode offers practical insight for fintechs considering a charter and for institutions working with chartered fintech partners.

THE AGENCY BRIEF Agency Update THE HOOK (COLD OPEN) “If you've ever wondered when the federal government decided your constitutional rights needed a permission slip and a background check, welcome to the Gun Control Act of 1968.” THE INTEL (THE STORY) Why?: The 1960s were a mess of race riots, civil unrest, and high-profile assassinations (JFK, MLK, RFK). The political elite used the national panic to ram through a wishlist of federal gun control they had wanted for decades, convincing the public that the legal supply chain was the enemy, rather than the radicals pulling the triggers. The Play-by-Play: What it did: Backroom Deals: Domestic gun manufacturers essentially sold out the people. They backed the bill because it banned the import of cheap, foreign-made handguns—effectively wiping out their competition. The Media Lie: The press sold the GCA as a “targeted” bill to stop assassins. They completely ignored that it effectively criminalized the interstate market, invented the “prohibited persons” list, and choked off the legal supply chain for everyday citizens. The Reality Check (Hidden Incentives): Rumors: Rumor (Highly Credible): Senator Thomas Dodd explicitly modeled the 1968 GCA after Nazi Germany's 1938 Weapons Law. Dodd was a prosecutor at the Nuremberg Trials and public records confirm he had the Library of Congress translate the Nazi law. The structural parallels involving dealer licensing, tracking, and “sporting” clauses are nearly identical. Rumor: LBJ's push for the law was heavily influenced by elite, backroom fears of armed Black Panther patrols in California, rather than just the high-profile assassinations. Gun control is in fact rooted in racism. THE 2A ANGLE (LEGAL & IMPACT) The Threat: The GCA is the mother-ship of modern federal gun control. It created the Federal Firearms License (FFL) system, age restrictions, and the “prohibited persons” list. The ATF's current “zero tolerance” strategy of revoking licenses for misspelled words is entirely dependent on the FFL chokepoint created right here in '68. Bruen Test: Regulatory Creep: Pattern 1: Regulate the seller instead of banning the buyer (creating the FFL dependency). Pattern 2: Exploit intentionally vague language (like “engaged in the business”) so unelected bureaucrats can expand the law later without a Congressional vote. Pattern 3: Frame rights restrictions as “regulating interstate commerce” to bypass the Constitution. Pattern 4: Build the architecture of a registry quietly through compliance paperwork (Form 4473). THE TALKING POINTS (ON-AIR READY) WLS IS LIFESTYLE GFEN's Gun Maker's Match GMM is an annual DIY gun competition event that is the first official shooting competition exclusively for individuals who make their own guns. Multiple stage events are conducted for both Kit Built and 3D Printed guns in Pistol, PCC, and Rifle Divisions, with a special side match for .22lr 3D Printed Firearms. Guns For Everyone National has created the first Competition Series for 3D Printed & Kit Built Firearms.0 THE ALLEY AuxArc 3D Printable Firearms Holsters and Gear @AuxArc is a MakerWorld profile specializing in 3D printable models for firearms accessories, including holsters compatible with Glock 17/19 and Ruger RXM, as well as storage solutions for ammo and batteries. Pinned models feature OWB and IWB holsters with options for lights like Streamlight TLR-1/TLR-7 and optic cuts. These are designed for 3D printing with some watertight and parametric features, but no detailed mechanical specs beyond compatibility are provided. GOING BALLISTIC National Rifle Association v. NRA Foundation Lawsuit (Washington, D.C.) The NRA Foundation faces ongoing transparency issues in a lawsuit filed by the National Rifle Association alleging illegal trademark use and failure to distribute funds. The Washington, D.C. Attorney General's office mediated the dispute but efforts failed, leading to a FOIA request (R005465-030626) for leadership details. The Foundation provided its 2024 Form 990 but refuses to disclose current trustees, officers, or salaries until the 2025 filing on November 15, 2026. New York Proposed Bills Reclassify BB Guns and Air Guns as Imitation Firearms (Savage) New York lawmakers have introduced bills in both the Assembly and Senate to reclassify airguns, BB rifles, and pellet guns as imitation firearms, requiring barrel plugs and toy-like coloration that would render them non-functional for firing projectiles. This aims to prevent police shootings involving realistic-looking airguns mistaken for real firearms. Paintball guns are exempted but face a raised purchase age from 16 to 18, while manufacturers would be deemed firearms industry members subject to public nuisance lawsuits. Colorado SB 26-043: Firearm Barrel Background Checks (Savage) Colorado Senate Bill 26-043 requires background checks, dealer transfers, and five-year recordkeeping for sales or transfers of firearm barrels, treating them like complete firearms. Non-serialized barrels must be serialized, with penalties including up to 30 days in jail and $500 fine for first-offense violations. The bill targets ghost guns but imposes compliance on all law-abiding gun owners in Colorado. Virginia HB40: Spanberger Signs Ghost Gun Ban (Savage) Virginia Governor Spanberger signed HB40, banning the manufacture, transfer, sale, importation, and eventual possession of unserialized firearms and unfinished frames or receivers in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The law establishes a serialization process for federal firearms licensees but includes no grandfather clause. Most provisions take effect January 1, 2027, with the possession ban effective July 1, 2027.0 OCC and FDIC Final Rule Prohibiting Discrimination Against Firearm Companies (Savage) The OCC and FDIC have issued a new Final Rule that prohibits banking regulators from using ‘reputational risk' as a basis for supervisory actions against institutions serving the firearm and ammunition industry. This rule ends the practice of debanking lawful gun businesses by barring adverse actions based on political, social, or constitutionally protected activities. The National Shooting Sports Foundation praised it as a significant victory under the Trump administration. FPC Statement on Trump Administration's Decision to Support Biden ATF ‘Frame or Receiver' Rule (Savage) Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) issued a statement criticizing the Trump Administration for maintaining the Biden-era ATF ‘Frame or Receiver' rule after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld it in March 2025. Despite FPC providing a proposed alternative rule in May 2025 and numerous other recommendations, the Administration informed FPC it would preserve the existing definition of firearm ‘frame' and ‘receiver'. FPC accuses the Administration of actively working against Second Amendment rights rather than protecting them. OCC and FDIC Final Rule Prohibiting Reputational Risk-Based Debanking of Firearm Industry The OCC and FDIC issued a final rule that eliminates ‘reputational risk' as a basis for supervisory actions against banks, directly addressing debanking of lawful firearm and ammunition businesses. This change prohibits regulators from encouraging account closures based on political or social views, promoting objective banking supervision. The rule responds to prior findings of inappropriate distinctions against gun-related companies by FDIC-insured institutions. Virginia Proposed Assault Weapons Ban: Gun Store Sales Surge in Henrico County Gun sales in Virginia have surged dramatically as residents rush to purchase firearms ahead of a proposed state ‘assault weapons' ban set to prohibit AR-15 possession after July 1, 2026, unless owned prior.

We're coming off one of the most action-packed single weekends of the trail running year. We recap Lake Sonoma, Gorge Waterfalls, Desert Rats by UTMB, Calamorro Skyrace, Marathon des Sables, and the BPN Backyard Ultra all in one episode with co-host Alyssa Clark.Lotti Brinks ran fifth overall at Gorge Waterfalls 100K and shattered the women's course record. Dylan Bowman suggested it might be the trail performance of the year, and we ask whether she's now a legitimate podium threat at Western States. Jennifer Lichter won the 50K against Yao Miao, the back-to-back OCC champion, by nearly four minutes, coming off a 100K course record at Black Canyon this past February. She is the truth right now.At the BPN Backyard Ultra, veteran Mike Egan used a wheelchair to complete 110 miles. When the mud got too thick to push through, he got out and dragged it. It might be the photo of the year in trail running, and we're only in April. The event pulled 19.6 million TikTok searches in its first edition, and we ask: who's building the Trail Team equivalent for backyard ultra?At Marathon des Sables, Des Linden made the podium in her desert ultra debut. We call it her arrival in the trail scene. Heather Jackson won Desert Rats 100K three weeks out from Cocodona 250. She has a vlog series called "The Season That Might Break Me" and we break down what her win means for her race at the Cocodona 250 next month. In a field she wasn't even seeded in, Jane Maus went to Spain and took second at the Calamorro Skyrace in her first official sky race ever.We also cover:Ryan Sullivan going wire-to-wire dominant at Lake Sonoma 100K (a Norda athlete from Grand Junction worth watching)Spencer Shellberg, another Grand Junction name, winning Desert Rats 100K by 40+ minutesGerda Steyn seventh win at Two Oceans, one of the most dominant ultra runners of this generationNicholas Thompson (editor-in-chief of The Atlantic) setting the 50+ American record at the Mad City 50K.Rendezvu, Faves and the case for athlete-led affiliate commerce in trail runningLucy Bartholomew running a 2:41 marathon in Paris to close out a 23-hour training weekGiven to Fly, the new Brian Morrison book on his 2006 Western States near-winPartners:Precision Fuel and Hydration - use code SINGLETRACK at checkout for 15% off your next orderNorda - check out the 005: the lightest, fastest, most stable trail racing shoe ever madeRaide - Making equipment for efficient human-powered movement in the mountains Janji - premium trail running apparelSupport the show
