Self-Custody Proposal Would Require RIAs to Clarify Bankruptcy Protections for Crypto Assets

Odaily News: A Fox Business crypto reporter posted on X that a self-custody proposal focuses on bankruptcy protections and would require registered investment advisers to sign written agreements with clients clarifying that adviser-self-custodied crypto assets will be treated as financial assets under Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code. The move may be intended to reduce the risk of clients losing crypto assets if an adviser becomes insolvent.
