Private Credit Is Booming; Banks Want Back In
Once satisfied with their dominant position in commercial lending from the middle market through the large cap, public syndicated market, banks have suffered significant erosion of market share at the hands of private credit (i.e., “direct lending”) competitors. With a wide range of firms leading the “golden age” of private credit, banks increasingly want back in and are employing a variety of strategies to get there. With the addressable U.S. market for private credit nearing $2.0 trillion (still a fraction of the public market), banks are ever more eager to participate in private credit’s one-stop lending solution that is one of the fastest growing businesses on Wall Street. Over the past several years, high-profile partnerships and other collaborations among banks and private credit firms have been announced at a brisk pace. Such activity is likely to continue.

Richard Weber Discusses Shift in DOJ Cryptocurrency Enforcement on The F.O.R.C.E. Podcast
Winston & Strawn partner Richard Weber was featured in an episode of the FIBA on Risk and Compliance Excellence (F.O.R.C.E.), a podcast where banking and financial industry professionals, law enforcement, and regulators discuss topics regarding financial crime, risk, regulations, and anti-money laundering. In the episode, Rich joins President and CEO of FIBA David Schwartz to explore the U.S. Department of Justice’s pivot in cryptocurrency enforcement and what it means for financial institutions, digital asset companies, and regulators. They unpack the DOJ’s decision to disband its National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team and narrow its focus to criminal abuse of digital assets, focusing on topics including why prosecutions tied to fraud, terrorism, financing, and organized crime remain active; the enduring risk for institutions despite less enforcement messaging; how state regulators are stepping up as federal agencies scale back; why companies must prioritize compliance; and more.
