Hester Peirce, a commissioner of the U.S. SEC, stated in a podcast that the self-custody of crypto assets and financial privacy are fundamental human rights, emphasizing that people should have the right to manage their own assets. She criticized the practice of mandatory custody by third parties and mentioned the latency in the review of the CLARITY Act and its impact on self-custody. Meanwhile, some investors are turning to ETFs for tax and management convenience, which poses a challenge to the "Wallet is Sovereignty" concept.
