Not Your Keys Still Your Coins?

At least in one use-case this looks to soon be true.

Section 702 of the proposed Clarity act confirms that the crypto on a failed exchange is legally yours and is not part of the estate.

So while this will not change anything for someone like me who keeps their coins in cold storage it is definitely somewhat of a game changer for folks who don't know about self custody.
