Summary

The SEC has sent draft crypto asset custody rules to the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review, covering investment companies, investment advisers, and broker-dealers, with proposed standards for crypto asset custody. Public comment will begin only after OMB review is complet…

Key points

  • Custody is the threshold for institutional capital to enter, and the direction of the draft rules will determine whether and how advisers and funds can hold crypto assets.
  • Once custody standards take shape, they will directly determine whether traditional asset managers have a viable compliance path to hold crypto assets.
  • Investment advisers and funds need to prepare custody structures and third-party custodian assessments in advance; custody technology providers can expect rising compliance demand and scrutiny, though details will only emerge after public comment.
