According to Bitcoin.com, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that it will extend the compliance deadline for the revised "15C3-3 Rule" (Customer Protection Rule) from the original December 31, 2025 to June 30, 2026. This rule requires specific brokers to adjust the frequency of calculating customer reserves from weekly to daily to strengthen financial protection. SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins stated that the extension is aimed at avoiding operational challenges for brokers.
It is worth noting that this rule only applies to the custody of securities based digital assets, and non securities based encrypted assets such as Bitcoin are not subject to restrictions. In May 2025, the SEC has withdrawn its 2019 joint statement, allowing brokers to establish control over uncertified digital asset securities through qualified custodians such as banks. This delay provides a buffer period for institutional system adjustments and testing of daily calculation processes.
