#加密圆桌会议要点 (US SEC loosens crypto custody! New York mayor declares 'come grab people', is the crypto world about to turn upside down?)
Sudden emergence on the morning of May 12! US crypto policy welcomes an epic turning point!
Last night, SEC's Atkins dropped a bombshell at a roundtable: 'Current crypto custody rules need to be abolished! Hedge funds can manage their own coins now!' As soon as he finished speaking, New York Mayor Adams held a press conference that night: 'New York aims to be the global crypto capital, industry leaders report quickly!' This move directly sent the crypto world trending, leaving retail investors confused: 'Is this the restart of a bull market? Or a new trick to cut retail investors?'
1. SEC's Big Move: Institutional custody loosening, retail investors trembling
- Core Policy:
- Currently, there are only 2 institutions in the US capable of custodying crypto assets? Atkins flips the table directly: 'The ridiculous restrictions set by the last government must be changed!'
- Plans to allow hedge funds and trading firms to manage their own coins, no longer needing to seek compliant custodians.
- Key Point: Capital requirements and customer protection rules must keep pace; don't think about running away with the money!
- Institutions are ecstatic:
- Giants like BlackRock and Fidelity are secretly delighted: 'Finally, no need to hand over coins to centralized exchanges!'
- But retail investors are panicking: 'Institutions managing their own coins makes cutting retail investors easier?'
2. New York's Talent Grab: The mayor personally calls you to 'get to work'
- How much action there is:
- Adams directly reveals a 'bombshell combination': Figure founder June Ou + private equity tycoon Richie Hecker, teaming up to help New York build a crypto economy.
- Declaring: 'We don't play with illusions; if we’re in, we aim for long-term value, let the Meme coins and air coins stay away!'
- Even suggesting: 'If you're a Web3 or blockchain talent, New York residency is up for grabs!'
- Industry Response:
- Coinbase: Researching the expansion plan for its New York headquarters overnight.
- Miners: 'Can electricity costs be lowered more?'
3. Retail Survival Guide: Understand these to reduce losses by half
✅ Positive Signals:
- SEC loosening + New York's endorsement = The US aims to compete with Singapore and Dubai for crypto dominance, Bitcoin may soar to new highs.
- Institutional self-custody = DeFi protocols are going to thrive, Layer 2 projects like Uniswap and Lido are set to take off.
❌ Fatal Risks:
- New rules are full of loopholes, institutions might leverage and short-sell to cut retail investors; contract players should beware of liquidation.
- New York plans to make a big noise but with little substance; actual policy implementation may have to wait until 2026.
4. Predictions from Little Fat God: These three types of people will make a fortune
1. Those who laid out Layer 2 in advance: Arbitrum's locked volume surpasses 100 billion, transaction fees are 90% cheaper than Ethereum, ecosystem explosion countdown.
2. Those who have set up compliant mining sites: New York aims for green mining, valuations of low-cost power mining sites are set to double.
3. Programmers who can write smart contracts: Institutional self-custody requires extensive security audits, a million-dollar salary is not a dream.
Conclusion:
This move by the US resembles 'being both the referee and the athlete'. But in any case, cryptocurrency is transitioning from 'underground banks' to 'regular forces'. Retail investors should remember: Bull markets often suffer sharp declines, bear markets often bring good news, so be cautious when bottom-fishing, following institutions is the hard truth!
