Treat Crypto Assets as if Clients Matter

Given the scarcity of crypto custodial solutions, the SEC could clarify that, in certain circumstances, registered investment advisers (that are not qualified custodians) can use a combination of software and comprehensive internal controls to self-custody crypto.

It’s easy to forget that NFTs remain a nascent technology, and this means that legal systems still lack understanding about how they work. This may mean that the nuance surrounding digital assets may get missed during civil action… but those in the lawsuit will still have to contend with hefty legal bills. Mattereum — a new protocol that delivers transferable proofs of digital ownership — aims to do things differently. It offers its customers…

Hodlonaut’s Tweets a ‘Reckless Campaign’ Against Craig Wright, Lawyers Say, as Satoshi Trial Reaches Conclusion
