SEC Proposes Clearer Crypto Custody Rules for Advisers and Funds
SEC Proposes Rules to Clarify How Advisers and Funds Can Hold Crypto
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has proposed rules aimed at clarifying how investment advisers and funds can hold crypto assets.
The proposal focuses on providing clearer guidance for firms that manage money on behalf of clients or investors. It could help establish more defined expectations around the custody and handling of crypto assets within investment products.
Clearer rules would matter for advisers and funds assessing whether, and under what conditions, they can include crypto in portfolios. The proposal also signals continued regulatory attention on how digital assets fit within the existing framework for investment management.
Because the rules are proposals, they are not yet final. Any changes would depend on the SEC’s rulemaking process and could be revised before adoption.
