SEC proposes crypto custody changes and OCC sued over standards, Henri Arslanian notes
SEC crypto custody rules, OCC lawsuit

Henri Arslanian, former PwC crypto leader and co-founder & managing partner at Nine Blocks Capital, highlights a dynamic week in the crypto sector. The SEC has put forward new crypto custody rules that would permit investment advisors and funds to self custody certain crypto tokens. In addition, a U.S. community bank industry association is taking legal action against the OCC, alleging that crypto firms are not being held to the same standards.

Arslanian previously interviewed a MoneyGram executive on the company’s perspective regarding digital assets and their role in financial services, as detailed in a recent discussion. He also covered the launch of a new stablecoin by 21 financial institutions and a statement from the G20 supporting cryptocurrencies in an earlier report. These developments provide context for his analysis of regulatory shifts in the crypto sector.
