The US Securities and Exchange Commission is considering an overhaul of the disclosure regime for listed companies, a move that could also affect publicly traded crypto firms.

Crypto news outlet BeInCrypto reported on May 5 that the SEC is discussing a plan to replace quarterly reports with semiannual filings.

If adopted, companies would report earnings only twice a year.

The proposal would reduce disclosure burdens and compliance costs for companies.

A longer reporting cycle, however, has raised concerns about weaker investor confidence and lower liquidity.

Markets are watching how publicly traded crypto companies such as Coinbase weigh lower costs against disclosure transparency. Whether the measure is introduced and how investors respond remain key variables.
