Regulation News: US Congressmen Request SEC Action
In a recent letter to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), 42 US Congressmen urged the agency’s chair, Gary Gensler, to allow banks to custody cryptocurrency. The US SEC previously permitted public companies not to report their customers’ crypto holdings on their balance sheets in July, provided they countervail risks against customers.
Signatories Support Bank Crypto Custody
Patrick McHenry, Cynthia Lummis, French Hill, and Tim Scott are notable among the 42 signatures backing bank crypto custody. The letter emphasizes easing restrictions for banks storing cryptocurrency.
