What CoinDesk reports
The regulator issued a proposed rule for custody, marking a swan song for its inaugural Crypto Task Force chief, Commissioner Hester Peirce, who exits this week.

Decrypt has also published a related report, providing another attributed account to compare without treating repetition as proof.
