The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has significantly increased its financial rewards for whistleblowers, distributing $255 million to 47 individuals in 2024 alone. This surge in payouts has led to a notable rise in claims, with two unnamed whistleblowers contributing to a total of 14,000 complaints this year. Additionally, the SEC recently waived the TCR filing requirement to award $2 million to one whistleblower, further incentivizing reports of misconduct. This trend highlights the SEC's commitment to encouraging whistleblowing as a means to uphold market integrity.
