New regulatory changes are reshaping how digital assets move through the system, and for the first time, self‑custody wallets are being pulled into the compliance net.

In this episode, Matt breaks down what the new rules mean, how they affect wallet verification, why privacy is becoming harder to maintain, and the practical steps serious Bitcoin holders should be thinking about next.

Inside the episode:

◼️ How new reporting rules change the way exchanges handle self‑custody transfers

◼️ Why wallet verification is becoming standard across major platforms

◼️ What these changes mean for privacy‑focused investors

◼️ How SMSF structures, collateralised borrowing, and peer‑to‑peer routes fit into the new landscape

◼️ The long‑term implications for Bitcoin’s role as a self‑custodied asset
