SEC proposed new rules letting investment advisers and funds hold clients' crypto themselves when no custodian is available, requiring strong security, regular audits and clear risk disclosures. This builds directly on SEC crypto custody rules for investment advisers history and previous SEC proposals on digital asset self-custody from the past year.
