A custody rule amendment refers to a modification or update to existing regulations governing how financial firms hold and safeguard client assets. In the context of digital assets, such amendments often seek to clarify requirements for custodians handling cryptocurrencies and other digital securities. These changes aim to enhance investor protection, mitigate operational risks, and provide clearer guidelines for regulated entities. The objective is to adapt traditional custody frameworks to the unique characteristics of digital assets.
