PRESS RELEASE | MARCH 5, 2026 Agencies Clarify the Capital Treatment of Tokenized Securities WASHINGTON – The federal bank regulatory agencies today jointly issued answers to frequently asked questions to clarify the capital treatment of tokenized securities. A security is often referred to as “tokenized” when ownership rights in the security are represented using distributed ledger technology. The answers to the frequently asked questions clarify that an eligible tokenized security should generally receive the same capital treatment as the non-tokenized form of the security under the capital rule. The agencies also clarified that the capital rule is technology neutral, and the technologies used to issue and transact in a security do not generally impact its capital treatment. As with any exposure, banks holding tokenized securities must apply sound risk management practices and comply with applicable laws and regulations.

PRESS RELEASE | FEBRUARY 12, 2026 FDIC Releases Economic Scenarios for 2026 Stress Testing WASHINGTON – The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) today released the hypothetical economic scenarios for use in the upcoming stress tests for covered institutions with total consolidated assets of more than $250 billion. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 requires certain financial companies, including certain state nonmember banks and state savings associations, to conduct stress tests. In 2018, Congress increased the size of what is considered a covered institution from $10 billion to $250 billion. The supervisory scenarios include baseline and severely adverse scenarios. The baseline scenario is in line with a survey of private sector economic forecasters. The severely adverse scenario is not a forecast, rather, it is a hypothetical scenario designed to assess the strength and resilience of financial institutions. Each scenario includes 28 variables—such as gross domestic product, the unemployment rate, stock market prices, and interest rates—covering domestic and international economic activity. The FDIC coordinated with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency in developing and distributing these scenarios.

PRESS RELEASE | JANUARY 12, 2026 Agencies Issue 2025 Shared National Credit Program Report WASHINGTON – Federal bank regulatory agencies today released the 2025 Shared National Credit (SNC) report that indicates credit risk associated with large, syndicated bank loans remains moderate. Credit risk trends continue to reflect the effects of borrowers’ ability to manage higher interest expenses and other macroeconomic factors. The 2025 report reflects the examination of SNC loans originated on or before June 30, 2025. The reviews focused on leveraged loans and stressed borrowers from various industry sectors and assessed aggregate loan commitments of $100 million or more that are shared by multiple regulated financial institutions. The 2025 SNC portfolio included 6,857 borrowers, totaling $6.9 trillion in commitments, an increase of 6 percent from a year ago. The percentage of loans that deserve management’s close attention (“non-pass” loans rated “special mention” and “classified”) decreased to 8.6 percent of total commitments from 9.1 percent in 2024. The decline is primarily due to growth in new commitments rather than an underlying improvement in credit quality. U.S. banks hold 45 percent of all SNC commitments. However, they only hold 22 percent of non-pass loans, down slightly from the prior year. Nearly half of total SNC commitments are leveraged, and leveraged loans comprise 81 percent of non-pass loans. # # # Related Link: 2025 SNC Program Charts (PDF) MEDIA CONTACT: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Julianne Fisher Breitbeil (202) 898-6895 Federal Reserve Board Karolina Kalset (202) 452-2955 Office of the Comptroller of the Currency Monica McCoy (202) 649-6870 The FDIC does not send unsolicited email.
