SEC proposes crypto custody rules letting advisers and funds use state trusts or conditional self-custody
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission proposed rules on how investment advisers and regulated funds may custody crypto assets. The proposal would allow the use of state trust companies and permit self-custody under certain conditions [1] [2] [3].
The proposal sets conditions for state trust company custody, and public comments would be due 60 days after publication in the Federal Register, according to The Defiant [4].
