SEC Hosts Roundtable to Address Crypto Custody Challenges

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will host a roundtable discussion on April 25th focusing on cryptocurrency custody, bringing together key industry leaders to address critical regulatory issues. The event aims to clarify standards for crypto custody, affecting both exchanges and regulated custodians. The SEC is particularly interested in examining the practices of broker-dealers and investment companies handling crypto assets. This discussion could potentially influence how major assets like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and USD Coin (USDC) are handled.
