The SEC proposal treats crypto custody less as a product feature than a governance function. Allowing adviser self-custody, but tying it to security controls, insurance, and independent examinations, could widen options while setting a high operational bar.

SEC Chair Paul Atkins says the agency's proposed crypto custody framework would give investment advisers and funds a compliant path to hold crypto assets, and that more regulatory proposals are on the way. He argued onchain markets should not be pushed offshore. This is a proposal, not a rule, and the reports give no timeline or final text. Permission to hold an asset is not demand for it, so the real test is whether advisers actually use the path once it exists.
