Il Congresso degli Stati Uniti sta per revocare il maggiore Bitcoin Barriera all’adozione istituzionale
North Carolina Representative Wiley Nickel, joined by Senator Cynthia Lummis and Representative Mike Flood, has put forth a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution that could be of critical importance to the US Bitcoin and crypto industry. This significant legislative effort aims to overturn the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) directive requiring banks to include customer cryptocurrency assets on their balance sheets, potentially clearing a major hurdle for the institutional adoption of Bitcoin E altri beni digitali.
The CRA resolution targets the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 121, issued in March 2022. This controversial bulletin demanded that financial institutions reflect an equivalent liability on their balance sheets for each digital asset held. The digital asset sector widely criticized this requirement for its potential to undermine the operational viability of digital asset custodians.
In late October 2023, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) determined that SAB 121 was required to undergo Congressional review. Following this decision, legislators in both the House and the Senate have initiated formal actions to overturn the rule.
SAB 121 Is Crucial For Institutional Bitcoin Adozione
Perianne Boring, amministratore delegato della Camera di commercio digitale, lo dice con forza ha commentato on the issue, emphasizing the importance of this legislative move: “AB 121 has been one of the biggest impediments to institutional adoption of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. We’re breaking down this barrier to make digital assets more accessible to Americans.”
In un completo dichiarazione, the Chamber of Digital Commerce applauded the bipartisan initiative of Senator Lummis, Representative Flood, and Representative Nickel. “Today’s bipartisan resolution represents a decisive action to ensure the SEC operates within its designated rulemaking authority,” the statement read. It further criticized the SEC for bypassing established procedures with SAB 121, thereby “compromising the integrity of the regulatory framework and violating principles of transparent and inclusive governance.”
Il SAB 121 della SEC è stato un punto di contesa all'interno della comunità delle risorse digitali. La Token Alliance della Camera di commercio digitale è stata in prima linea nello sfidare questa regola, sostenendone la rescissione e impegnandosi con vari organi governativi, incluso il GAO. Nella sua dichiarazione, la Camera ha sottolineato i suoi ampi sforzi: "Il flusso di lavoro ha presentato otto lettere al Congresso riguardanti questioni relative alla custodia di risorse digitali, si è impegnato con l'Ufficio del capo contabile della SEC e ha esortato il GAO a rivedere la regola."
L’iniziativa gode del sostegno bipartisan
Riflettendo sull'importanza di questa risoluzione, il repubblicano americano Mike Flood osservato: “Il SAB 121 del presidente Gary Gensler ha virtualmente bloccato le banche dal fungere da custodi delle risorse digitali. Oggi, il rappresentante Wiley Nickel, il senatore Lummis e io abbiamo presentato risoluzioni per abrogare il terribile bollettino della SEC. I giorni di SAB 121 sono contati: è ora che se ne vada!”
Anche Patrick McHenry, presidente del GOP dei servizi finanziari condiviso his view, emphasizing the bipartisan nature of the opposition to SAB 121: “There is bipartisan agreement SAB 121 undermines consumer protection and leaves customers’ digital assets vulnerable. I look forward to getting this measure across the finish line to overturn it. Thanks to Mike Flood, Wiley Nickel, and Il senatore Lummis for your leadership.”
The introduction of the CRA resolution marks a significant moment in the evolving relationship between digital asset markets and regulatory frameworks in the United States. The outcome of this legislative effort has the potential to greatly influence the institutional adoption of Bitcoin E altre criptocuruzioni.
