The SEC’s Crypto Task Force meets next week, and the mission of this gathering is to discuss crypto custody.
Commissioner Hester Peirce, who leads the Task Force, said the move to integrate crypto asset custody within the regulatory structure is one of the most challenging issues.
“We look forward to hearing from experts on these important issues.”
“Know Your Custodian: Key Considerations for Crypto Custody” will involve the participation of some of the best-known firms providing digital asset custody, including Anchorage, Fireblocks, Exodus Movement, Copper, and more.
