<h4><strong>Many lawmakers are unhappy with how the SEC is handling cryptocurrencies like <a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/?s=bitcoin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bitcoin</a> in the US.</strong></h4> 
<p>They believe the SEC is holding back innovation in the U.S. while other countries, like China, are speeding ahead. Let’s discover how this can affect Bitcoin custody in the country.</p> 
<h5><strong>Urgent Call for Action on Bitcoin Custody Regulations</strong></h5> 
<p>These companies will be allowed to get around a big rule that stops regular financial institutions from holding cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Peirce feels this is unfair and that the SEC isn’t being consistent with its rules.</p> 
<p>Normally, financial institutions that are regulated by the SEC can’t hold cryptocurrencies for their customers. But Peirce says that the <a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/?s=sec" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SEC</a> will start letting certain companies bypass this rule.</p>

<p>This issue has caught the attention of Congress, where lawmakers are pushing for the U.S. to stay competitive in the global tech race. They don’t want the country to “fall behind” in the fast-growing crypto industry. Congress wants the U.S. to be a leader in this space, not a follower.</p>

      <p>U.S. Congressman Tom Emmer recently challenged SEC Chairman Gary Gensler over his handling of cryptocurrency regulations, expressing strong dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs. Emmer stated, “Your inconsistencies on this issue have sent this country back. We could not have had a more historically destructive or lawless Chairman of the SEC.”</p>
