⚡ SEC SUBMITS NEW RULE FOR CRYPTO ASSET CUSTODY
The U.S. market regulator is taking an important step again regarding the digital asset industry.
On October 1, 2026, the SEC proposed a new rule regarding custody of crypto assets owned or managed by investment advisers and funds.
The goal is to provide a clearer framework for how crypto assets can be stored and managed in accordance with applicable federal regulations.
SEC Chair Paul Atkins said the proposal would provide a clearer compliance pathway for investment advisers and funds in managing digital assets.
📌 If these rules develop into final regulations, their impact could be felt by investment firms and institutions that manage crypto assets.
This becomes an important development because regulatory certainty is one of the factors institutions consider when entering the digital asset market.
