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.

Tom Lee’s BitMine (BMNR) Raises $365M at $70 a Share to Expand Its Massive ETH Treasury

Tom Lee’s BitMine (BMNR) Raises $365M at $70 a Share to Expand Its Massive ETH Treasury

The post Tom Lee’s BitMine (BMNR) Raises $365M at $70 a Share to Expand Its Massive ETH Treasury appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR), chaired by Tom Lee, said Monday it now controls more than 2% of ether’s supply and raised $365 million to expand its holdings. The company announced this morning that its treasury, valued at $11.4 billion as of Sept. 21, consists of 2,416,054 ETH at $4,497 per token, 192 bitcoin BTC$108,783.53, $345 million in cash and a $175 million equity stake in Eightco Holdings. BitMine described itself as the world’s largest public holder of ether and the second-largest crypto treasury overall, trailing only Michael Saylor’s Strategy Inc. (MSTR). BitMine is chaired by Tom Lee, who is also head of research at Fundstrat and chief investment officer at Fundstrat Capital. Lee said the company is pursuing what he calls the “alchemy of 5%,” aiming to accumulate 5% of the total ETH supply. “Wall Street and AI moving onto the blockchain should lead to a greater transformation of today’s financial system. And the majority of this is taking place on Ethereum,” Lee said. Raising funds to grow the treasury A few hours later, BitMine announced a securities purchase agreement with an institutional investor covering 5.2 million shares of common stock at $70 per share — about 14% above its Sept. 19 close — along with warrants for up to 10.4 million additional shares at $87.50. The offering is expected to raise $365 million in gross proceeds, with the warrants potentially adding another $913 million, bringing total potential proceeds to about $1.28 billion. Lee said the primary use of funds would be to expand BitMine’s ether holdings, calling the premium pricing “materially accretive” to existing shareholders. BitMine added that institutional demand reflected growing interest in ethereum as Wall Street integrates blockchain into financial infrastructure. As of 11:13 a.m. ET, BMNR shares were trading around $55.79, down 9% on the day,…
