[Digital Asset Custody Channels Proposed to Expand, SEC Suggests Allowing Investment Advisors to Self-Custody Under Certain Conditions] Odaily Planet Daily reports that Bitcoin News posted on the X platform stating that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has proposed updates to digital asset custody rules, allowing investment advisors to self-custody specific assets when no qualified custodians are willing to do so. However, this would require meeting conditions such as written assessments, multi-party authorization for transfers, wallet segregation, and security reviews. The proposal also aims to permit eligible state-chartered trust companies to serve as qualified custodians for digital assets like Bitcoin. The proposal has not explicitly approved any specific digital assets for custody by investment advisors; if ultimately passed, Bitcoin may benefit due to its relatively mature existing institutional custody infrastructure.
