SEC proposes crypto custody framework for investment advisers and funds

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has proposed an Oct. 1 crypto custody framework under two federal investment laws, allowing conditional self-custody and state trust company custody for investment advisers and regulated funds.　　SummaryThe proposal covers registered investment advisers, registered investment companies and business development companies.Advisers could hold crypto themselves when no permitted custodian is available, subject to conditions.State trust companies would face checks on their authority and safeguards before serving as custodians.Public comments will remain open for 60 days after publication in the Federal Register.　　SEC Chairman Paul Atkins said in the statement shared in his Oct. 3 X post that the proposal addresses uncertainty over how advisers and funds can legally hold crypto assets for clients. The SEC published the same statement on Oct. 1, alongside its proposed rules.　　According to the commissions announcement, the framework would remove custody barriers that restrict crypto-related investment advice. The agency said it would also let regulated funds offer more crypto investment strategies, identifying registered investment companies and business development companies among the funds covered.　　SEC crypto custody proposal would permit conditional self-custody　　Under the SECs proposal, advisers could hold client and fund crypto assets themselves in limited circumstances.

Bullish: Bitcoin Exchange Reserve Drops to 2023 Lows

After Bitcoin witnessed a brief price recovery recently, reclaiming its previous high around $87,000, the sharp price rally has driven demand for the asset.　　As such, Bitcoin has seen traders increasingly scoop up its tokens from exchanges as demand appears to have spiked, causing its reserve across all exchanges to drop sharply.　　2.68 million Bitcoin left to buy　　Per recent data from crypto analytics platform CryptoQuant, Bitcoin exchange reserves have suddenly dropped to a fresh multi-year low after its price rebounded briefly a few days ago.　　Following this sharp drop in the metric, there are now about 2.68 million BTC held across exchanges as of Saturday, October 3.　　Although decreases in exchange reserves are often perceived as a potential sign of accumulation or long-term holding, analysts have also warned that the case this time may not entirely confirm a bullish outlook for Bitcoin, as increases in outflows from major exchanges like Binance could be attributed to several other factors.　　Bitcoin supply is shrinking　　Additional data provided by the source shows that Bitcoin exchange reserves have been trending lower across several Bitcoin market cycles.　　The last time Bitcoin reserves peaked was in early 2024, when they reached a high of around 3.2 million BTC, at a time when Bitcoin

Arbitrum pauses new Stylus activations over AI-assisted attack risks

Arbitrums Security Council temporarily blocked new Stylus contract activations on Arbitrum One and Nova in an October 2 emergency action, restricting programs and app updates that require fresh activation. Already-active Stylus applications can keep running, while ordinary Solidity contract deployment and execution remain unaffected, according to the Councils action report.　　Related Asset Ethereum #2 ETH · $2,681.24 24-hour change: down 0.44% Loading price history… 24H Down 0.44% 7D Down 0.39% 30D Up 6.79%　　Arbitrum attributed the precaution to increasingly sophisticated AI-assisted attacks involving hand-crafted WebAssembly programs outside the standard Stylus compiler toolchain. It said known Stylus bugs primarily threaten chain liveness, including denial-of-service risks, and that no attack permitting theft of user funds had been discovered.　　The linked Ethereum, Arbitrum One and Nova transaction records show successful execution on October 2, around 15:30 to 15:31 UTC.　　For builders, the distinction is between storing code and making it usable. Stylus contracts run WebAssembly programs, which need activation to become executable. Arbitrums documentation distinguishes that step from deployment, which stores code onchain. New contract instances using identical program code can reuse an existing activation, provided it is still valid.　　A new application version requiring fresh activation cannot become executable during the pause.

NEAR co-founder pitches AI pets, private trading and cross-chain payments

NEAR co-founder Illia Polosukhin has outlined 13 application ideas spanning AI pets, private trading, and cross-chain payments, alongside five suggestions for helping developers reach users.　　Illia Polosukhin, in an Oct. 3 X post, said new and returning developers had been building on NEAR over the preceding couple of weeks, while development itself had become easier.　　With fewer obstacles to building, he framed product selection and distribution as the questions developers now need to address.　　“Building itself got easier too, so its really about what to build and how stand out to get distribution.”　　NEAR payment ideas connect checkout and event deposits　　For merchants and application developers, Polosukhin proposed a universal checkout widget that would let customers pay through NEAR Intents using the wallet and blockchain they already hold assets on.　　Under his suggested approach, developers would offer the button directly to merchants and seek to bring it into Shopify. His post presented Shopify as a potential distribution target for the proposed widget.　　For event organizers, he suggested a registration system that would hold attendees deposits in escrow until the host checks them in. Participants who attend would then divide the contributed funds, according to his outline.　　Drawing on an earlier project called Kickback, he proposed extending the model
