The SEC’s Crypto Custody Roundtable: A Tipping Point for Regulatory Clarity or More Questions?
The Securities and Exchange Commission has released the full agenda and panel lineup for its April 25 roundtable, “Know Your Custodian: Key Considerations for Crypto Custody.” The speaker list is impressive—though, perhaps, it might have been even stronger had they invited me (a guy can dream, right?). Scheduled to take place at SEC headquarters in Washington, D.C., the event will bring together regulators, law firm partners, academics, and crypto-native custodians for what may prove to be the most consequential public dialogue on digital asset custody to date.
