The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is restarting work on a crypto custody rule that was not completed during the previous administration, according to Techub, citing CoinDesk. The move signals that the SEC is still pushing ahead with a regulatory framework for digital asset custody services. The update does not include additional details on the substance of the rulemaking, but it points to continued agency attention on how crypto assets are held and supervised within regulated custody arrangements. The development centers on custody oversight rather than trading or token issuance, and reflects an ongoing effort by the SEC to address digital asset infrastructure through formal rulemaking.
