SEC Published Guidance on Crypto Wallets

  • The SEC published a list of recommendations for storing crypto assets.
  • In it, the Commission explained the difference between hot and cold wallets, named the advantages and disadvantages.
  • This reflects a change in the regulator’s approach to overseeing the sphere.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) published a bulletin dedicated to cryptocurrency wallets. It provides recommendations for investors and lists the risks of this or that method of storing digital assets.

The document defines crypto assets, describes the mechanism for creating and unlocking an account, and differentiates between cold and hot wallets. The regulator also emphasized the importance of responsible storage of the seed phrase.

At the same time, the SEC provided clarification regarding custodial, keys are stored by a third party, and noncustodial cryptocurrency wallets.

In the first case, the user should be aware that in case of loss of access he risks losing digital assets, in the second case — that the custodian can re-secure funds, as well as combine them into a single pool.

The regulator’s general recommendations regarding the safekeeping of crypto assets are as follows:

  • when choosing third-party custodians, one should carefully check their data
  • keys and seed phrases should not be disclosed
  • the amount of crypto-assets should be kept secret
  • one should beware of phishing resources
  • you should use strong passwords and two-factor authentication to access online accounts

The publication of this and other materials reflects a change in the SEC’s approach to regulating the crypto sphere. The Commission is now educating as well as updating the rules.

Earlier, we reported that the SEC believes that most initial coin offerings (ICOs) do not fall under its jurisdiction.

The post Edges higher ahead of BoC-Fed policy outcome appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/CAD gains marginally to near 1.3760 ahead of monetary policy announcements by the Fed and the BoC. Both the Fed and the BoC are expected to lower interest rates. USD/CAD forms a Head and Shoulder chart pattern. The USD/CAD pair ticks up to near 1.3760 during the late European session on Wednesday. The Loonie pair gains marginally ahead of monetary policy outcomes by the Bank of Canada (BoC) and the Federal Reserve (Fed) during New York trading hours. Both the BoC and the Fed are expected to cut interest rates amid mounting labor market conditions in their respective economies. Inflationary pressures in the Canadian economy have cooled down, emerging as another reason behind the BoC’s dovish expectations. However, the Fed is expected to start the monetary-easing campaign despite the United States (US) inflation remaining higher. Investors will closely monitor press conferences from both Fed Chair Jerome Powell and BoC Governor Tiff Macklem to get cues about whether there will be more interest rate cuts in the remainder of the year. According to analysts from Barclays, the Fed’s latest median projections for interest rates are likely to call for three interest rate cuts by 2025. Ahead of the Fed’s monetary policy, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, holds onto Tuesday’s losses near 96.60. USD/CAD forms a Head and Shoulder chart pattern, which indicates a bearish reversal. The neckline of the above-mentioned chart pattern is plotted near 1.3715.
