Therefore, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) this week published a clarifying letter for U.S. citizens about the right to self-custody of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies (without banks and custodians). The keys are with the owner.
And when the regulator explains to citizens how to store crypto independently, it is a systematic acknowledgment of a new financial reality. And it also means that:
• the state officially recognizes self-custody;
• crypto = personal property, not a bank service;
• responsibility returns to the owner;
• direct recognition of the principle: 'Not your keys - not your coins.'
And this is especially important for the following reason:
• the world is purposefully moving towards digital assets and control;
• the USA legalizes personal ownership in advance;
• preparations are underway for mass adoption and institutional entry;
• blockchain has once again been confirmed as the foundation of future finance.
Conclusion: while some countries are debating whether it is possible to store crypto oneself, in others – citizens have already received the official 'it is allowed.'
