foot-loose capital
I have come across this expression in English newspapers etc. and it seems to make sense.

Comment: "I'm not going to add this to the glossary just yet, because I'm not completely confident, but I've left a note for the client, and if they agree, I'll make the entry. My guess if this is the correct translation is that they want to keep banks from loaning to footloose capitalists so they don't make a run on the bank when conditions are better somewhere else."

fast-moving funds
It actually refers to short-term funds. To retain the nuance of the original, I suggest "fast-moving funds". As you can see from the original phrase, 逃げ足の速い資金 has high liquidity unlike long-term funds.
Note from asker:
| This is in the context of the recent bank failures in the US. It seems strange that they would want to enact regulations to prevent them from using short-term funds. The banks presumably failed due to low liquidity. So it has to be something negative. |
