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.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
