X Enables U.S. Users to Trade Using Cashtags

A recent regulatory adjustment announced by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has narrowed the divide between the market’s discussion timeline and actual trading activity. The change, effective immediately, requires that all publicly disclosed material events—earnings releases, merger announcements, and other material news—be posted on the SEC’s official website within 15 minutes of occurrence, rather than the previous 30‑minute window.

The new rule aligns the timing of market commentary with the precise moment of data release, thereby reducing the lag that previously allowed analysts and traders to react to information before it was fully disseminated. Market participants report that the tighter posting schedule has improved transparency and helped to mitigate the risk of information asymmetry. The SEC noted that the adjustment is expected to enhance price discovery and reduce volatility associated with delayed disclosures.
