SEC to Host Third Roundtable on Crypto Custody on April 25
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced the details for its anticipated third roundtable focusing on cryptocurrency custody, set to take place on April 25, 2025, at the SEC headquarters in Washington, D.C. This event is part of the SEC’s ongoing initiative, dubbed “Spring Sprint Toward Crypto Clarity,” aimed at providing clearer guidance on the regulation of digital assets.
Focus of the Roundtable
Entitled “Know Your Custodian: Key Considerations for Crypto Custody,” this roundtable will delve into critical issues surrounding the safe storage and protection of cryptocurrencies. As digital assets increasingly integrate into the wider financial system, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce emphasized the importance of addressing custody issues, which she considers one of the most significant topics in the evolving cryptocurrency landscape.
Event Details
The roundtable is scheduled to run from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and will feature remarks from key SEC officials, including Acting SEC Chairman Mark Uyeda, Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw, and Commissioner Peirce. Two panels will be moderated by Zach Zweihorn from the law firm Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, providing a platform for both industry experts and legal authorities to share insights.
Panel participants will include representatives from notable crypto firms such as Fireblocks, Kraken, and Fidelity Digital Asset Services, alongside academic and legal commentators like Adam Levitin from Georgetown University Law Center. This diverse assembly aims to foster constructive dialogue regarding the best practices and regulatory considerations related to cryptocurrency custody.
Open and Accessible
The roundtable will be open to the public, offering attendees the opportunity to engage in discussions about pressing custody concerns in the crypto space. Additionally, the event will be streamed live online for broader accessibility, enabling stakeholders from different regions to participate remotely.
Upcoming Sessions
Following the April 25 session, the SEC has announced two more roundtables planned for May 12 and June 6. These future events will address topics on tokenization and decentralized finance, continuing the SEC’s commitment to informing the public and stakeholders about the complexities of digital asset regulation.
As the SEC pushes forward with its initiative for clearer regulatory frameworks, industry participants and observers are keenly watching how these discussions may influence the future of cryptocurrency custody and broader regulatory practices.
