What Decrypt reports
The proposal would let advisers and funds use state trust companies as custodians and permit self-custody under certain conditions, aiming to replace years of ambiguity with a clear compliance path.
The immediate significance
The report identifies a policy development, but the available information does not provide enough matched evidence for a more specific impact judgment. That assessment remains open.
CoinDesk has also published a related report, providing another attributed account to compare without treating repetition as proof.
What remains unknown
- No matched primary document independently supporting the central claim is linked to this page.
