Protocols/assets in scope: CC. Named institutions or platforms: Grayscale, SEC, Canton Network, Digital Asset Holdings. Teams should monitor the original source, map the change to licensing, custody, disclosure, and market-access obligations, and update their jurisdiction playbooks before the next compliance review.
