SEC vs. keeping watch
Sources told the agency Bloombergaccording to the website CriptoFacil, that the SEC intends to establish new rules as of Wednesday (15). Under the new legislation, the process to become a qualified custodian will become more difficult.
Qualified custodians are currently licensed to hold and store digital assets on behalf of their clients.
With the rule change, institutional funds involved with cryptocurrencies will likely have to transfer their funds elsewhere. In addition, they may also face surprise audits of their custody relationships and other checks.
