Crypto vault coalition for regulation

Highlights

Crypto Council for Innovation launched the Vault Coalition on Friday with backing from Galaxy, Morpho, BitGo, a16z, Avalanche Policy Coalition, and Sharplink to address regulatory clarity for crypto vaults.
Morpho General Counsel Christopher Robins states institutional capital is ready but awaits clear regulation, with the coalition set to develop legal analysis and policy principles for vault products.
The initiative follows recent SEC actions including Project Crypto and a speech by SEC Chair Paul Atkins calling for tailored crypto vault regulation, reflecting industry momentum for legal certainty.

Coalition launch and policy agenda

As stated by the Crypto Council for Innovation to The Block, the Vault Coalition launches on Friday with backing led by Galaxy and Morpho, alongside BitGo, a16z, the Avalanche Policy Coalition and Sharplink.

Crypto vaults pool deposited funds through smart contracts to generate yield, while depositors receive a vault receipt token representing their share. The structure has seen broader experimentation over the past year, including launches by Kraken and Tesseract, but the industry group says the products remain subject to regulatory ambiguity.

Morpho General Counsel Christopher Robins says the market is at an inflection point, adding that institutional participants are ready to deploy capital but need a clear legal roadmap. The coalition says it will produce legal analysis, develop policy principles and focus on the regulatory treatment of vault structures.

U.S. regulatory backdrop and sector implications

The initiative emerges as regulators in the U.S. open more doors for digital assets under an administration viewed as friendlier to the industry. Over the past year, the Securities and Exchange Commission has advanced a token taxonomy to clarify its position on cryptocurrencies, while SEC Chair Paul Atkins has launched Project Crypto to update the agency's rules for digital assets.

CCI also points to a speech by Atkins last month in which he says the SEC needs to clarify how its framework applies to software applications and specifically calls for clarity around crypto vaults. The group argues that regulation should reflect how vaults actually function rather than rely on comparisons with traditional financial products that do not match the underlying technology.

Our earlier coverage of Palantir (PLTR) highlighted how the company’s expanding commercial partnerships contrasted with growing regulatory risk warnings from management. Despite solid business momentum, the stock remained under technical pressure below key moving averages, keeping near-term sentiment cautious and skewed to downside risk.
