In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). The update, effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, was adopted by the Company for its consolidated financial statement disclosures as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. The ASU revises reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The required disclosures, as applicable, are included in Note 16 ("Segment Reporting"), and reflect the extent of the impact of the adoption of ASU 2023-07 on the consolidated financial statement disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Issued, not yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets. This ASU addresses the accounting and disclosure requirements for certain crypto assets and requires entities to subsequently measure certain crypto assets at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in earnings in each reporting period. In addition, entities are required to provide additional disclosures about the holdings of certain crypto assets. For public entities, the update is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company expects to adopt the update for the consolidated financial statements issued in the first quarter of 2025 and does not anticipate a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU addresses investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. For public entities, the update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company expects to adopt the update for the consolidated financial statements issued for the year ending December 31, 2025 and does not anticipate a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024 the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public entities. For public entities, the update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company expects to adopt the update for the annual financial statements issued for the year ending December 31, 2027, and is currently reviewing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2024-03 may have on the consolidated financial statements disclosures.

On March 6, 2024, the SEC adopted new climate disclosure rules, which requires companies to publish information that describes the climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on a company’s business or consolidated financial statements. The final rules would require companies to disclose material climate-related risks, activities to mitigate or adapt to such risks, information about the companies’ board of directors’ oversight of climate-related risks and management’s role in managing climate-related risks, and information on any climate-related targets or goals that are material to the companies’ business, results of operations or financial condition. On March 15, 2024, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit granted an administrative stay of the SEC’s final Climate Disclosure Rules, in response to legal challenges unaffiliated with the Company. The Company expects to review any updates regarding the Court stay and update the financial statements and disclosures accordingly based on the outcome of the ongoing legal proceedings related to these rules.

On January 23, 2025, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 122 ("SAB 122"), which rescinds the interpretive guidance included in the Staff Accounting Bulletin 121 ("SAB 121"). SAB 121, issued March 31, 2022, provided interpretive guidance from the SEC regarding the accounting for obligations to safeguard digital assets that an entity holds on behalf of customers. For public entities, SAB 122 is effective on a fully retrospective basis in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company expects to adopt the guidance for the consolidated financial statements issued for the year ending December 31, 2025 and does not anticipate a material impact to the consolidated financial statements given the liquidation of all digital assets held on behalf of customers on July 1, 2024. See Note 1 ("Nature of Operations") and Note 14 ("Clearing Operations") for additional information.
