SEC Chair Atkins: crypto custody rule is part of broader regulatory overhaul

  • —SEC issued a DTC tokenization no-action letter in December 2025 and staff statements on tokenized securities
  • —Regulation Crypto Assets was proposed in August alongside an exemption for tokenized NMS equities
  • —The rule would let registered advisers and funds self-custody crypto under conditions
  • —Atkins pledged to keep positioning the US as a crypto hub
Why it matters: Easing SEC custody rules opens the door for institutional crypto exposure, even as the CLARITY Act failed in the Senate 49-50.
