In guidance to public companies, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) detailed information that businesses may be required to share with their investors, including whether the firms have any financially material exposures to counterparties that have filed for bankruptcy or become insolvent.

Thursday’s guidance comes after months of turmoil in crypto markets and the recent collapse of major crypto firms FTX and BlockFi Inc.
