2026 Crypto Asset Activity Information Request via FINRA Gateway
On June 23, 2026, FINRA is publishing the 2026 Crypto Asset Activity Information Request in FINRA Gateway, asking member firms about their current and planned crypto asset activities.
Overview of the 2026 Crypto Asset Activity Information Request – As the securities industry transforms, FINRA is adapting to support vibrant capital markets while remaining firmly focused on our core mission of protecting investors and safeguarding market integrity. With that in mind, FINRA is issuing the 2026 Crypto Asset Activity Information Request to all member firms to better understand how the industry is engaging and adapting to developments involving crypto assets.
Benefit to Firms – FINRA intends to use the information gathered from member firm responses to inform its ongoing efforts to adapt its regulatory programs, including potential FINRA Forward initiatives to modernize oversight, empower compliance and support resilience. FINRA issued a similar request to a subset of member firms in 2023, and we used the responses to develop our Update on Member Firms’ Crypto Asset Activities and the Member Firms’ Nexus to Crypto Assets section of the 2025 and 2026 Annual Regulatory Oversight Reports. In addition, the responses informed our Crypto and Blockchain Education Program for financial professionals.
How to Access the Request – Each firm’s Super Account Administrator (SAA) controls access to the request in FINRA Gateway. The specific entitlement “Information Request Forms–Submit” will provide access to the 2026 Crypto Asset Activity Information Request. If no action is taken, the firm's Super Account Administrator (SAA) will automatically receive the 2026 Crypto Asset Activity Information Request and all related notifications. If the firm would like other personnel to complete the request or receive notifications, the SAA must grant the appropriate FINRA Gateway entitlements before June 23, 2026.
- To complete the request, users must be assigned the "Information Request Forms-Submit" entitlement (see FINRA’s website for step-by-step instructions).
- To ensure the appropriate firm personnel receive all related notifications, additional recipients can be added through FINRA Gateway > Admin > Firm Settings > Quest Notifications (see instructions).
If you have questions about modifying entitlements, please contact the FINRA Support Center at (800) 321-6273 or [email protected].
