#加密资产监管 Seeing the SEC release the Cryptocurrency Custody Guidelines has made me feel much more at ease. This document systematically outlines the risk boundaries of self-custody and third-party custody, serving as a timely reminder for many investors.

It reminds me of a few cases I encountered before—some people lost assets due to improper private key management, while others blindly stored assets without understanding the risks of their custodians. These are not low-probability events. The SEC specifically emphasized the cybersecurity risks of hot wallets and the physical risks of cold wallets, which actually helps us clarify our thinking: there is no absolutely secure method, only choices that match our risk tolerance.

What I find most important is the reminder about asset re-pledging and mixed storage. This concerns the safety of our principal, and we must ask the custodian exactly how they handle our assets.

I suggest everyone consider a few questions when configuring their crypto assets: Do I really have the ability to securely manage private keys? What is the background and risk control measures of the chosen custodian? Is the proportion of these assets in my overall portfolio reasonable? As regulatory attitudes become clearer, it’s a good opportunity for us to reassess our positions and risks. In the long run, a regulated environment is truly beneficial for prudent investors.
