Congress Votes Down SEC's Crypto-Accounting Bulletin
Congress recently voted against the SEC's crypto-accounting bulletin, which required SEC reporting companies to mark cryptocurrencies held under custody as liabilities on their balance sheets. This move, supported by 21 Democrats, signified a rare bipartisan rejection of the SEC's stance, perceived by many as anti-crypto.
