US financial regulators proposed stricter criteria for labeling non-bank firms like hedge funds as "too-big-to-fail," reversing a Biden-era policy that eased designations for systemic risk oversight. The Financial Stability Oversight Council voted Wednesday to raise the threshold for designations, reducing the likelihood of firms facing Federal Reserve supervision and costly compliance burdens. The move targets investment companies and hedge funds, which have largely avoided the "systemically important" tag since its 2010 introduction, unlike major Wall Street banks. Regulators aim to limit regulatory overreach, arguing the previous framework was too broad, potentially stifling market competition and innovation in financial services. The shift reflects a broader deregulatory push in Trump’s second term, prioritizing industry flexibility over post-2008 crisis safeguards.

That tag, which can bring significant compliance costs and place firms under Federal Reserve supervision, has mostly been applied to large Wall Street banks since its introduction more than a decade ago.
