  Digital asset custodians are required to comply with a range of regulations under the UMR (Uniform Margin Requirements) regulation. These requirements include implementing robust security measures to protect customer assets, conducting regular audits and risk assessments, and maintaining proper record-keeping and reporting procedures. Additionally, custodians must adhere to anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations to prevent illicit activities and ensure the integrity of the digital asset ecosystem. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in penalties and reputational damage for custodians.

  Under the UMR regulation, digital asset custodians are obligated to establish strong internal controls and risk management systems. They must also have proper governance structures in place to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations. This includes implementing policies and procedures to prevent fraud, money laundering, and other illicit activities. Custodians must also maintain adequate capital reserves to protect against potential losses and ensure the safety of customer assets. By adhering to these compliance requirements, custodians can build trust and confidence among investors and regulators.
