The post April 25th SEC Crypto Roundtable: Paul Atkins to Address Broken Crypto Custody Rules appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Following the success of its first session on April 11, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is set to host the second installment of its four-part SEC Crypto Roundtable series tomorrow on April 25th.
This session will zero in on one of the most debated issues in digital asset regulation—crypto custody and the legal challenges surrounding it.
The roundtable will feature two high-profile panel discussions:
The event will be opened by top SEC officials, including Chairman Paul S. Atkins, Crypto Task Force Chief Richard Gabbert, and Commissioners Hester Peirce, Caroline Crenshaw, and Mark Uyeda.
Under current SEC guidelines, investment advisers must use qualified custodians such as banks or broker-dealers. But crypto custody doesn’t fit neatly into this mold. With digital assets operating on decentralized, 24/7 infrastructure, many firms face hurdles in complying with outdated rules.
Legal expert Neel Maitra recently highlighted custody as “the biggest issue in crypto regulation.” His co-panelist, Justin Browder, criticized the SEC’s approach for forcing advisers to choose between regulatory compliance and client service.

The third session of the SEC Crypto Roundtable will cover tokenization and is scheduled for May 12, 2025. The fourth and final roundtable, focused on Decentralized Finance (DeFi), will take place on June 6, 2025.
As the SEC explores how to adapt legacy rules to new technologies, tomorrow’s roundtable may pave the way for much-needed regulatory reform in crypto custody.
