SEC Custody Proposal Under Review by Office of Management and Budget
What happened
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has a pending custody proposal that governs both investment firms and broker-dealers. The proposal is currently under review by the Office of Management and Budget. The SEC is working on rules to assimilate crypto into the regulated securities industry. This effort aims to clarify how non-security crypto assets can be held within a broker-dealer without requiring special registration.

Why it matters
The SEC is using this process to establish a regulatory structure for crypto assets. The proposal seeks to provide guidance for investment advisers on where to park client assets, such as in a state-chartered trust. The agency is focused on rules that integrate crypto into the existing regulated securities market.
The Office of Management and Budget previously determined that no inflation adjustment would be applied to penalties.
