Have you noticed that every SEC headline still moves $BTC first while most traders are already looking at alts?
The real pain is watching people dump on regulatory news only to miss the rebound, or pile into random tokens too early and get chopped. These headlines keep costing retail because they treat every proposal like an attack instead of a potential on-ramp for bigger capital.
US regulators just floated another custody proposal covering who can hold client assets, how those holdings stay off a company's own books, and the level of oversight required. This is the same gap that has kept pension funds and banks on the sidelines for years. Clear rules give them a legal path to actually hold $BTC and $ETH instead of just talking about allocation. $BTC already priced the news this week, as it always does. Alts such as $ETH and $SOL tend to lag until the details look workable for institutions.
If the rules land in a form they can use, expect slower but much larger inflows. Treat $BTC as the barometer, ignore the first reaction, and only add once it holds after the noise fades. Institutions wait for the legal box to be checked.
Where do you think this goes from here once custody is actually clarified?
