NY Regulator Drops Crypto Guide as She Steps Down

In a Tuesday notice, Harris said the NYDFS had updated guidance first announced in January 2023 to better protect users “in the event of an insolvency or similar proceeding.” The document itself looked simple enough, a ledger kept honest: clarifying what were “acceptable sub-custodians,” guardrails for crypto custody, and “permissible uses of customer assets.” A dry wind, but with teeth.
