Despite the delay, regulators like the SEC and Commodity Futures Trading Commission have said they will still proceed with trying to shape crypto policy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">JUST IN: <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/72x72\/1f1fa-1f1f8.png\" alt=\"\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\" class=\"wp-smiley\" \/> SEC has sent a new proposal to the White House concerning &#8220;amendments to the custody rules&#8221; to &#8220;clarify the framework for the custody of crypto assets&#8221; <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/72x72\/1f440.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udc40\" class=\"wp-smiley\" \/> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/c45BK1tlok\">pic.twitter.com\/c45BK1tlok<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BitcoinMagazine\/status\/2092613549860282505?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 26, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis rulemaking would clarify the framework for the custody of crypto assets for investment adviser and investment companies, as well as make other modernizations needed to remove burdens from certain outdated provisions that are no longer needed to provide investor protection given the evolution in the markets and security trading and holding practices,\u201d the proposal read.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pro-crypto lawmakers had hoped to pass the Clarity Act before Congress broke for August recess, but the <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/news\/regulators-push-pro-crypto-clarity-act\">vote slipped<\/a> to September after Democrats balked at the latest draft.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some Republican senators \u2014 like Senator Cynthia Lummis \u2014 accused some of deliberately holding it back.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, pro-crypto regulators want to press ahead. CFTC Chairman Michael Selig has said he will proceed with rulemaking whether or not the Clarity Act is enacted, aiming to finalise rules before the administration\u2019s term is out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And earlier this month, the SEC proposed its own framework to allow token issuers to raise money in the U.S. without falling foul of securities laws.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Donald Trump campaigned on a ticket to help the crypto industry and received major backing from Silicon Valley entrepreneurs. Since taking office, regulators have taken a remarkably different approach to watchdogging the digital asset space.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The president last week urged lawmakers to get the Clarity Act over the line. SEC Chair Paul Atkins has said he is \u201ccommitted to supporting Congress in advancing\u201d the bill.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/news\/sec-sends-crypto-custody-proposal\">SEC Sends Proposal to White House To Modernize Crypto Custody<\/a> first appeared on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/\">Bitcoin Magazine<\/a> and is written by <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/authors\/mathewdisalvo\">Mathew Di Salvo<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin Magazine SEC Sends Proposal to White House To Modernize Crypto Custody The Securities and Exchange Commission has sent a proposal to the White House aiming to \u201cclarify the framework for the custody of crypto assets\u201d for investment advisers and companies.\u00a0 In a rule change sent Tuesday, the regulator said it wanted to \u201cimprove and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":49966,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-49965","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
