SEC proposes a custody framework for crypto held by advisers and funds
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced a proposal on October 1, 2026, to change how crypto assets may be safeguarded for registered investment advisers and regulated funds. Its scope includes registered investment companies and business development companies. The package covers new rules as well as revisions to existing requirements. Among the proposed options are holding assets directly in specified circumstances and appointing state trust companies to safeguard them. These changes have been proposed; the announcement does not make them effective rules. The opportunity to submit public comments would last 60 days after the proposing release appears in the Federal Register, rather than 60 days from the announcement date.
