  • Out Of The Gray Zone: Statement On The Division Of Investment Management’s No-Action Letter Relating To The Custody Of Crypto Assets With State Trust Companies, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, Sept. 30, 2025

    Date 30/09/2025

    Today, the staff of the Division of Investment Management issued a no-action letter (the “NAL”) stating that it would not recommend enforcement action to the Commission against registered advisers or regulated funds for maintaining crypto assets and related cash and cash equivalents with certain state-chartered financial institutions (“State Trust Companies”). For too long, registered advisers and regulated funds have been caught up in a guessing game as to whether their entity of choice for crypto asset custody, which also may be the only available custodian for such service, is a permissible custodian under the custody provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”) and Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), respectively. The specific lingering question has been whether State Trust Companies meet the definition of a “bank” as defined in the Advisers Act and 1940 Act. The staff NAL is an encouraging development for registered advisers and regulated funds that invest or want to invest in crypto assets.
