In a major development at the end of 2025, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission officially announced the repeal of Rule SAB 121, finally lifting the long-standing "gag order" that restricted banks from managing crypto assets.

What does this mean? Simply put, banks can now directly include clients' digital assets within their business scope, no longer needing to record them as liabilities on their balance sheets. From a policy perspective, the final hurdle for traditional financial institutions to enter the crypto custody field has been completely removed.

Some have called this news the "biggest bombshell of the year," and it's not an exaggeration. Once considered a threat by Wall Street, crypto assets are now poised to enter bank vaults openly and legitimately. Imagine the scene when major banks like JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs start offering crypto custody services to their clients—what a sight that will be!

Currently, BTC is trading around $90,000. Some say this is a "clearing out" before big institutions step in. Whether you believe it or not, the structural barriers have indeed been cleared. Now, it all depends on how the market reacts.

What do you think—storing coins in the bank for better interest, or sticking to self-custody?
