  • 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.

(Photo by Monica Schipper/The Hollywood Reporter via Getty Images) The Hollywood Reporter via Getty Images Many leaders are advised to “stay in their lane.” Dr. Eric Esrailian has spent his career doing the opposite. A physician, Emmy-nominated film producer, philanthropist and social innovator, he has built coalitions across medicine, entertainment, government and philanthropy. His latest initiative, Together California, co-founded with actor Christian Bale, aims to reform foster care by keeping siblings together. It is a powerful example of how leaders can focus on leading systemic change. Medicine as a Foundation for Systemic Change Esrailian’s career may look eclectic to outside observers. To him, there’s always been consistent logic. “In my life, there’s a through line that I see all the time with any project I’m working on,” he explained. “All of these realms are some way to heal people. Medicine is naturally a way to help, but I began to see communities – and even the world – as the patient.” That perspective shaped his transition from physician to administrator at UCLA, where he now influences major initiatives in healthcare and innovation. He views his skills from medicine – diagnosing complex problems under pressure, leading teams in critical situations, and rapidly synthesizing information – as directly translatable to leading systemic change across industries.
