Activity

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) frequently issues press releases related to various aspects of securities markets. Here are some of the most recent and relevant to securities:
* June 4, 2025: SEC Solicits Public Comment on the Foreign Private Issuer Definition. The SEC published a concept release asking for public input on the definition of a “foreign private issuer.” This definition is important because foreign private issuers benefit from certain accommodations and exemptions under U.S. securities laws. The SEC is considering whether this definition should be updated due to changes in the population of foreign private issuers since 2003.
* May 29, 2025: SEC Investor Advisory Committee to Examine Pass-Through Voting and Other Means of Reaching the Ultimate Beneficial Owner; Discuss Market Perspectives on Non-GAAP Financial Disclosures at June 5 Meeting. This press release announced the agenda for an upcoming meeting of the SEC’s Investor Advisory Committee, which will cover important topics related to shareholder voting and financial reporting.
* May 28, 2025: SEC Publishes Data on Regulation A, Crowdfunding Offerings, and Private Fund Beneficial Ownership Concentration. This release highlights the SEC’s continued efforts to provide transparency and data on various types of securities offerings and private fund ownership.
* May 20, 2025: Unicoin, Top Executives Charged in Offering Fraud That Raised More than $100 Million from Thousands of Investors. This is an example of an enforcement action where the SEC charged a company and its executives with securities fraud related to an offering.
The SEC’s “Newsroom” on its official website is the best place to find the most up-to-date and comprehensive list of their press releases. You can often filter these releases by date, topic, or even by the division of the SEC that issued them (e.g., Enforcement, Corporation Finance, Trading and Markets).
