On April 13, 2026, the Staff of the SEC’s Division of Trading and Markets issued a statement (“Statement”) setting out its views on when a person that creates, offers, and/or operates certain user interfaces used to prepare transactions in crypto asset securities (a “Covered User Interface Provider”) may do so without registering as a broker-dealer under Section 15(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Statement is the latest in a series of federal regulatory developments aimed at reconciling crypto industry practices within the existing securities and derivatives regulatory framework, following the SEC and CFTC’s joint guidance on the status of certain crypto assets and the CFTC’s recent no-action relief for a crypto wallet technology vendor. Commissioner Hester M. Peirce issued a separate statement commending the Staff but calling for a more permanent approach.

Our March 31, 2026, Client Alert described the ERBA NPR and SA NPR issued by the federal banking agencies on March 19, 2026. In that Alert, we indicated we would issue a separate Client Alert describing in more detail how the Standardized Approach “risk weights” in Section 32 and “credit conversion factors” (CCFs) in Section 33 of the US Basel III rule would be amended by the proposals in the SA NPR and how those would differ from the risk weights and CCFs proposed in the ERBA NPR (which would be contained in proposed new Sections 111 and 112 of the US Basel III rule). This Alert provides that description and is intended to be read in conjunction with the earlier Client Alert, which provides the background, and defined terms, for this supplementary Client Alert.
