The much-anticipated executive order from U.S. President Biden’s administration outlining an approach to crypto regulation arrived this month. As Tyrone Ross puts it, the order is “all bark and no bite,” and a promising step forward for increased regulatory clarity without excessive restrictions.

On this episode of “On Purpose,” Ross dives into a regulatory-themed update for those in the wealth management industry. Ranging from Biden’s crypto executive order to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) recent comments on the custody rule, Ross explains what is changing and how it will affect advisers.

Ross sorts through the nuances within the executive order’s outlined approach to regulating digital assets, highlighting the most important takeaways for advisers. Ross also recaps comments from the Department of Labor about crypto in retirement accounts. Lastly, Ross explores the SEC’s most recent discussion on custody rules and how it would change crypto advising.
