SEC Orders Staff to Draft Rules Allowing Advisers to Self-Custody Crypto
- —Atkins directed staff to draft rules allowing advisers to self-custody crypto
- —The initiative was presented on September 14 at the Solana Policy Institute Summit
- —State-chartered trust companies could act as custodians for funds
- —No formal SEC proposal exists yet; official rulemaking is the next step
Why it matters: Dropping the mandatory external qualified custodian could ease institutional crypto access and cut costs for funds.
