SEC's Crypto Custody Guide: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released a crypto custody guide on December 3, 2025, aimed at educating retail investors about digital asset custody risks and practices, distinguishing between self-custody and third-party custody.
Impact on Institutional Participation: The guide is expected to foster proper crypto custody practices, potentially increasing institutional participation in the crypto market and aligning with broader regulatory changes under SEC Chair Paul S. Atkins.
Regulatory Evolution: The guide reflects a shift towards a more structured regulatory environment for digital assets, building on past SEC actions like the Custody Rule, which may attract more institutional investment.
Caution for Investors: The article emphasizes the risks associated with cryptocurrency investments and advises investors to conduct their own research before making financial decisions.
