As Commissioner Hester Peirce concludes her final week at the SEC, Chairman Paul Atkins and Commissioner Mark Uyeda issued a joint statement honoring her service.

"Commissioner Peirce has served two remarkable tours at the SEC, first as a distinguished member of the staff from 2000 to 2008, and most recently as Commissioner since 2018. We are deeply grateful for her principled leadership and significant contributions to the Commission over the years. As colleagues and friends of hers for two decades, we have seen firsthand the influence of her expertise, tenacity, and quiet strength—an influence that reaches beyond the Commission to our capital markets."

TODAY 🚨: The Commission proposed new rules and amendments to provide a tailored framework for the custody of crypto assets for registered investment advisers and regulated funds, i.e. registered investment companies and business development companies.

The Commission’s proposal would modernize custody rules and expand investor choice by removing regulatory barriers that inhibit the adviser’s ability to provide crypto-related investment advice. It would also allow regulated funds to offer clients access to a wider range of crypto asset-related investment strategies.

SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins: “Since the advent of Bitcoin in 2008, the crypto asset market has grown from a niche curiosity into a multi-trillion-dollar asset class to which investors actively seek exposure. Unfortunately, our rules and regulations have not kept pace. To that end, today’s proposal would provide a clear regulatory framework for the custody of crypto assets, giving investment advisers and funds a compliant pathway where none existed before—and replacing the grey of uncertainty created by custody rules crafted for a bygone era.”
