Trump Media & Technology Group announces plans to invest $250 million in cryptocurrencies.

Charles Schwab , a financial giant, will be keeping custody of the funds.

The Securities and Exchange Commission eliminated a piece of accounting guidance that called for financial institutions to hold crypto on their balance sheet as a liability.
