The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is getting ready for an important meeting about cryptocurrency. On April 25, 2025, the SEC will hold its third public roundtable, where the main topic will be how to safely store digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. This meeting is part of the SEC’s bigger plan to bring more clarity and understanding to the crypto world.
Why This Meeting Matters
When we talk about “crypto custody”, we mean how companies and investors keep their digital assets safe. Just like you keep money in a bank, crypto also needs a secure place. As more big investors and institutions enter the crypto space, it’s becoming more important to figure out the best way to protect these digital coins. The SEC wants to hear from people in the industry about what’s working, what’s not, and what rules might help.
Who Will Be There and What Will Be Discussed
The roundtable will take place at the SEC headquarters in Washington, D.C., from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM and will also be shown live online. Anyone can watch it through the SEC’s website, and those who want to attend in person will need to register ahead of time.
Some big names will be speaking at the event, including SEC leaders like Mark Uyeda, Caroline Crenshaw, and Hester Peirce. They’ll be joined by experts from top crypto companies such as Fireblocks, Kraken, and Fidelity, along with professors and legal experts. These speakers will talk about the risks and challenges of holding digital assets and what needs to be done to make it safer and easier for everyone involved.
What This Means for the Crypto World
This roundtable is another step in the SEC’s journey to make better rules for the crypto industry. The goal is to protect investors while allowing the crypto space to grow. By opening up this discussion, the SEC is trying to listen to the people who are building and using crypto platforms and find solutions that work for both sides.
