The US SEC has submitted a proposed overhaul of crypto custody rules to the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs for review, aiming to clarify how investment advisers and funds can hold crypto assets under federal securities laws. This move reflects the SEC's shift from enforcement actions toward formal rulemaking under Chair Paul Atkins.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must prepare for formalised crypto custody rules that will replace uncertain enforcement with clear compliance criteria. Legal and compliance leads at crypto funds and advisers are now the frontline for market access.
