Other representatives will include those from WisdomTree, Fidelity Digital Asset Services, and Fireblocks.<br \/>\n\u201cIt is important for the SEC to grapple with custody issues, which are some of the most challenging as we seek to integrate crypto assets into our regulatory structure,\u201d said Peirce, who heads the SEC task force.<br \/>\nNotably, Uyeda was listed as acting chair of the commission at the April 25 event, despite the US Senate confirming that Paul Atkins would head the regulatory body on April 9. It\u2019s unclear when Atkins will be sworn in as SEC chair, but at the time of publication, the regulator had not listed him as a current commissioner.<br \/>\nRelated: US gov\u2019t actions give clue about upcoming crypto regulation<br \/>\nAmong the topics listed on the roundtable\u2019s agenda are discussions on broker-dealers and custody at investment firms. Demand for digital asset custody in the US has grown in the last few years, especially following the approval of crypto exchange-traded funds in January 2024. The trend has also drawn in traditional financial institutions, including long-standing firms such as BNY Mellon.<br \/>\nSince the inauguration of US President Donald Trump in January and the departure of former SEC Chair Gary Gensler, the agency has seemingly moved in a direction more favorable to the crypto industry by abandoning certain enforcement actions and dismissing efforts in court to expand or maintain its authority over digital assets.<br \/>\nThe first of the crypto task force\u2019s roundtable events on March 21 dealt with the status of many tokens as securities. Another on April 11 included discussions on \u201ctailoring regulation for crypto trading.\u201d<br \/>\nIs DOGE infiltrating the SEC?<br \/>\nThe roundtable discussions come as reports suggested the \u201cgovernment efficiency\u201d team launched by Tesla CEO and presidential adviser Elon Musk had been given access to the SEC\u2019s systems and data. Acting chair Uyeda has reportedly pushed back on requests by the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE \u2013 which is not an official US government department \u2014 to access SEC data.<br \/>\nDOGE faces criticism and some lawsuits over attempts to fire staff at US government agencies. It\u2019s unclear whether Musk intends to \u201cstreamline\u201d the SEC in the same way the group went after the US Agency for International Development and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.<br \/>\nMagazine: XRP win leaves Ripple and industry with no crypto legal precedent set<a href=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/news\/sec-roundtable-crypto-custody?utm_source=rss_feed&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=rss_partner_inbound\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"feedzy-rss-link-icon\" rel=\"noopener\">Read More<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: Cointelegraph.com NewsThe US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced industry insiders from Kraken, Exodus, Anchorage Digital, and others would be participating in its crypto task force\u2019s roundtable discussion on&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/cryptospotters.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127326"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/cryptospotters.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/cryptospotters.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/cryptospotters.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=127326"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/cryptospotters.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127326\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/cryptospotters.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=127326"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/cryptospotters.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=127326"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/cryptospotters.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=127326"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
