According to The Defiant, the SEC’s crypto custody rule rewrite is moving into White House review. The report summary says the planned rules would cover investment advisers and investment companies, and would explicitly define digital asset custody; this follows the withdrawal of another 2023 proposal.
Markets usually first focus on whether rules will change the institutional participation threshold, but for wallet users the more direct question is: who controls transfer permissions, what can be seen before signing, who handles anomalous transactions, and how recovery works after a service disruption.
The review stage does not equal final implementation; the rule details still need to be monitored further. What’s worth关注 is not the “custody” label itself, but whether responsibility boundaries ultimately translate into auditable permissions, disclosure, and recovery procedures.
