2026 Antitrust Year in Preview
Last year was a landmark in the development of antitrust law. Enforcers, legislators, and private parties grappled with the fundamental shift represented by artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, the resolution of important digital technology antitrust cases, and significant divergence in policy across a presidential administration transition. The changes will not stop in 2026. In this preview, we focus on several economic sectors that were most impacted by developments in antitrust law in 2025 to identify the trends that will drive governmental and private activity in antitrust in 2026.

Federal Reserve’s “Payment Accounts” Proposal: A Term Sheet for Industry Input
The Federal Reserve Board is requesting public input on a prototype for a special purpose Federal Reserve Bank account (a “Payment Account”) that eligible institutions could use to clear and settle their own payments directly. Interestingly, the Federal Reserve Board’s Payments Account proposal is structured as a term sheet, serving as a preliminary framework. This presents a critical window for industry stakeholders to influence the proposed Payment Account’s design, operational parameters, and potential use cases.

Wilson Sonsini Advises Tesser on $4.5 Million Seed Round
On October 21, 2025, Tesser announced that it has secured $4.5 million in seed funding for its cross-border stablecoin payments solution in a round led by Castle Island Ventures alongside Strobe Ventures and Anthemis, with participation from other strategic investors. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati advised Tesser on the transaction.
Founded by Geetha Panchapakesan, a payments veteran who spent 18 years at MoneyGram, Visa Direct, and Circle, the company’s stablecoin payment platform addresses a critical gap: licensed financial institutions want to enable stablecoins, but lack the technical infrastructure to do so quickly and compliantly. The platform handles wallet provisioning, treasury management, compliance orchestration, and reconciliation—abstracting blockchain complexity and allowing institutions to maintain full control over risk and customer relationships.
The Wilson Sonsini team that advised Tesser on the transaction included Jonathan Chan, Kyle Canchola, and Kelly Stern.
