According to a BlockBeats report, on Wednesday, October 1, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proposed a series of reform measures aimed at expanding channels for individual investors to access the private markets, so that more retail investors can gain exposure to private equity, early-stage startups, and other alternative assets. One proposal would allow registered investment advisers to charge performance fees of up to 20% based on fund performance, making the fee structure more similar to the “2% management fee + 20% performance fee” model used by some hedge funds, in order to attract more private market managers to serve individual investors.
SEC Chair Paul Atkins said that the Commission hopes to explore ways to expand individual investors’ participation in the private markets while also preventing fraud and improper conduct. The SEC also proposed expanding the scope of the “accredited investor” determination, allowing more people with professional qualifications (including certified public accountants and Chartered Financial Analysts) to be eligible to invest.

BlockBeats message: On September 30, the Federal Reserve Board passed amendments to the annual stress test by a 6-1 vote. This marks a major victory for large Wall Street lending institutions. In a statement on Wednesday, Michelle Bowman, vice chair of the Federal Reserve responsible for supervision and regulation, said: “Stress tests are an important part of our regulatory capital framework. Today’s reforms ensure that stress tests are more transparent, more granular, and more risk-sensitive, maintaining their robustness.”
The Federal Reserve said that the two finalized rules are essentially consistent with the rules proposed in 2025, which had been welcomed by the banking industry at the time. The test was established after the 2008 financial crisis and is intended to assess the resilience of Wall Street lending institutions under hypothetical economic downturn scenarios. In addition, the Federal Reserve also sought comments on a plan aimed at “better reflecting differences in banks’ business models in generating fee income.”

BlockBeats news: On September 30, the U.S. August core PCE price index rose 3% year over year, reaching a new low since February. This was below the market expectation of 3.3%. The prior figure of 3.3% was revised to 3%. On a month-over-month basis, it increased 0.2%, also below the expected 0.3%. Overall, PCE rose 3.4% year over year and 0.3% month over month, both below market expectations.
Meanwhile, in the U.S., August personal spending increased 0.9% month over month, above the expected 0.8%. Real personal spending growth after adjusting for inflation rose 0.6%, marking the largest month-over-month increase since March 2025. Inflation coming in below expectations while consumption remains resilient has added complexity to the Federal Reserve’s assessment of the future policy path.
