by Sarah Rudolph, JLN
The International Securities Exchange is a few steps closer to making the already crowded field of U.S. options exchanges even more crowded. On March 1, 2013, the Securities & Exchange Commission issued an order granting “exemptive relief” for ISE’s second options exchange, tentatively known as Topaz. This would bring the number of U.S. options exchanges to 12. All four SEC commissioners have signed off on the filing and it can now be published for comments, according to an ISE spokesman.

Holder: Big banks’ size complicates prosecution efforts
By Peter Schroeder – The Hill’s On The Money
Attorney General Eric Holder suggested Wednesday that some financial institutions have become too large and are escaping full-fledged prosecution as a result. Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Holder told lawmakers that he is concerned that some institutions have become so massive and influential that bringing criminal charges against them could imperil the financial system and the broader economy. His remarks come as a growing number of lawmakers have suggested that big banks are, effectively, “too big to jail.”
