美国多家金融监管机构“停摆”，IPO受理暂停

Group 1 - The U.S. federal government shutdown has led to over 90% of employees at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) being placed on unpaid leave, with only about 393 employees remaining to handle urgent enforcement and market oversight tasks [1] - The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has retained only 5.7% of its 543 employees during the shutdown to ensure market supervision and fraud prevention [1] - The shutdown may delay or cancel the release of key economic data, affecting investors' ability to assess macroeconomic trends and potentially leading to asset price volatility [1] Group 2 - The SEC will continue to process regular corporate filings but will suspend the acceptance of initial public offering (IPO) applications, which could hinder the recent recovery in the U.S. IPO market [1] - As of September 29, 2023, there have been 263 IPOs in the U.S. this year, raising a total of $52.94 billion, the highest since 2021 [1] - The potential impact of the shutdown may also affect the approval of cryptocurrency-linked exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which were expected to launch in early October [2]
