SEC Proposes Updated Crypto Custody Rules for Advisers and Funds
US regulators have introduced a draft framework allowing registered investment entities to hold digital assets under modernized standards.
Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Paul Atkins announced a regulatory proposal aimed at establishing clear custody standards for digital assets. The initiative amends rules under the Investment Advisers Act and the Investment Company Act, replacing older guidance with a framework designed specifically for the digital asset sector.
Under the draft rules, registered investment advisers and regulated funds, including mutual funds, would gain a compliant route to hold digital assets. The measures allow advisers to facilitate client self-custody under specific criteria and formally include state-chartered trust companies as qualified custodians alongside traditional banks and broker-dealers.
The regulatory initiative comes after the broader CLARITY Act stalled in the Senate in mid-September. Atkins noted that existing rules had failed to keep pace with the expansion of the cryptocurrency market, framing the proposal as a step toward reducing uncertainty and supporting the US market's competitiveness.
These two are not the same thing, and one does not produce the other. The left is how this single article reads, from its tone alone. The right is the site’s own call on the asset, from indicators and analysis. Press tone feeds no score and no signal: on the only corpus this site has measured, daily tone tracked the move that had already happened and showed no measurable link with what followed.
