"Hundreds of lobbyists for banks and Wall Street, sometimes working closely with Republicans, have been working for months to block the reform plans, which threaten profits, particularly in the lucrative derivatives market." Equity options are regulated and it is a very profitable market so I cannot see how Regulating OTC derivatives just like Equity derivatives would be a problem.
