SEC Publishes Crypto Custody Guidelines For Retail Investors
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued new guidelines for retail investors on safeguarding cryptocurrency holdings, marking another step toward regulatory acceptance under the Trump administration. The bulletin outlines custody options and associated risks, reflecting a shift from the Biden-era enforcement-heavy approach.
Regulators have established a dedicated task force, dropped several lawsuits, and launched "Project Crypto" to foster industry growth. The MOVE signals increasing institutional recognition of digital assets as blockchain technology matures.
