 Now, it looks like the SEC is changing course just a little bit. The SEC quietly issues significant approvals for companies trying to stick to the securities rulebook. The FINRA, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Industry Fund and Oversight Arm created by the SEC announced that it approved its first broker-dealer with custody rights for digital asset securities. This is through Promethium Ember Capital LLC. Aaron Kaplan, who is a security lawyer, is the founder and co-CEO of parent company Promethium. He said the firm will demonstrate that industry compliance or complaints about the absence of a path to U.S. compliance are totally mistaken. He says those complaining about a lack of regulatory clarity, Coinbase and others, were trying to put a square peg into a circular hole. Promethium Capital has only been approved as a special purpose broker-dealer that can take custody of customer's crypto assets effective May 17th.
