TL;DR: The SEC has proposed a tailored crypto custody framework for advisers and regulated funds, but the changes are not yet final. The conversation about crypto access inside conventional investment funds is increasingly focused on custody. An SEC proposal released October 1 would modernise parts of the federal rules affecting how registered advisers and regulated funds safeguard digital assets. According to the agency, the planned changes are intended to remove obstacles that prevent advisers from offering some crypto strategies while keeping investor protections. It is an important distinction: proposing a framework does not immediately authorise every fund structure or settle questions about which institutions can qualify as custodians. For investment managers, wallet technology is only part of the problem. They also need ways to establish control, segregate client assets, deal with lost or compromised keys, value holdings and satisfy external oversight. Those tasks look different from holding conventional securities in a familiar account, even if both portfolios appear together on the investor’s screen. A successful final regime could make crypto investments easier to distribute through existing fund and advisory relationships. Equally, a poorly matched custody requirement could increase costs or limit which assets institutions are willing to support. The key question for industry participants is what the final rules demand operationally, not whether the SEC’s proposal can be treated as permission already granted.

TL;DR: ESMA says EU-licensed crypto service providers should cease services involving stablecoins that do not meet MiCA requirements. A stablecoin does not need to be issued in Europe to create a European compliance problem. ESMA’s October 8 opinion tells authorised crypto-asset service providers to stop offering clients services involving asset-referenced or e-money tokens that fall outside MiCA’s requirements. The scope is deliberately broad. ESMA lists trading, exchange, custody, transfers, order execution, investment advice and portfolio management, among other services. That means an exchange cannot necessarily solve a token’s regulatory problem by removing one trading pair while continuing other activities involving it. For stablecoin issuers, distribution through regulated platforms is a major source of liquidity and reach. For exchanges, the risk is fragmented access: a dollar-linked asset widely used elsewhere may require restrictions for EU clients if the relevant authorisation and compliance conditions have not been met. The regulator’s opinion explains supervisory expectations; it does not claim every stablecoin is non-compliant or announce enforcement against a named platform. Consumers should avoid reading a delisting headline as evidence that a particular token has lost its peg. The immediate issue is legal permission to provide specific services in a particular market, and firms will have to map their products against that perimeter carefully.
