AI Summary
The SEC's rewritten digital-asset custody rule for registered investment advisers and investment companies has moved to White House OMB review, the final procedural step before a formal proposal is published. Clear custody standards remove a core compliance blocker for RIAs and fund complexes allocating to spot BTC and ETH products, which supports the institutional flow channel for crypto ETFs and qualified custodians such as Coinbase Custody. Watch the published proposal text for the definition of a qualified custodian and whether staking, self-custody, and non-bank custodians are permitted, since a restrictive draft would narrow rather than widen adviser participation.
As a Policy signal, watch whether it changes price action, volatility, or flows around COIN, BTC, ETH.
