SEC Staff Guidance on Crypto Broker Status

The SEC Division of Trading and Markets issued a staff statement on April 13, 2026 clarifying when crypto trading interfaces may qualify as broker-dealers under federal securities laws. The statement establishes that broker-dealer analysis is functional, not formal — focusing on how an interface behaves rather than what it is. Covered providers operating nondiscretionary interfaces where users control transaction parameters may avoid broker-dealer registration if conditions including user control, neutral route presentation, fixed compensation, and cybersecurity safeguards are met. The guidance follows similar CFTC no-action relief for Phantom Technologies Inc. and leaves open questions about optimization tools, institutional systems, and routing practices that may be examined in future enforcement.

The rule would apply to three qualifying entity types: subsidiaries of insured depository institutions or credit unions, federal-qualified payment stablecoin issuers, and state-qualified issuers.

Recommends Passkeys as Default Authentication Option for Safer Logins

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), part of GCHQ, has reversed its prior hesitation and now recommends passkeys as the default authentication option for consumers across all digital services. This marks a formal policy shift from last year when NCSC stopped short of endorsing passkeys due to implementation challenges; progress within industry has since resolved those concerns. The announcement coincides with publication of a technical report finding passkeys are at least as secure as, and generally more secure than, pairing the strongest password with two-step verification. UK adoption is already ahead globally, with just over 50% of active Google services users in the UK having a passkey registered.
