Since 2025, federal agencies like the CFPB and FTC have reduced enforcement capacity and shifted focus, while state attorneys general have stepped up enforcement through bipartisan coalitions and new state laws, filling the regulatory void in consumer protection and antitrust oversight with significant settlements and enforcement actions.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

State attorneys general are the new enforcers replacing federal consumer and antitrust regulators in the US. If you run a fintech or consumer business, you must engage state regulators directly as federal enforcement no longer signals lower risk.
