SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce just dropped an important take: self-custody isn't just a feature, it's fundamental to financial freedom. Her point? No intermediary should get in the way of people controlling their own crypto assets. This signals a potential shift in how regulators view personal asset control.

Nah, this is what I want to hear. But speaking of which, can the SEC really let go? It still feels like we need to see their subsequent actions.

Listening to Hester's words can be seen as giving self-custody a proper name. But don't be too happy too soon; how many people can really hold their own Wallet? Most suckers still have to rely on the exchange, and with one pullback, they follow the trend to Cut Loss.

To be honest, someone from the regulatory agency finally made it clear that self-custody means freedom.

That being said, Hester Peirce finally spoke some human words; self-custody is a fundamental human right. Don't let any intermediary choke you out; that's the true essence of crypto, isn't it?

Finally, regulators are speaking in plain language. Self-custody means freedom, and this trap of middlemen profiting off the difference should have been abolished long ago.

Finally, an official has stated that self-custody should be a basic right, not some advanced feature.
