The U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board plans to study in 2026 whether crypto assets such as stablecoins can be classified as cash equivalents.

PANews reported on December 31 that the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) plans to study in 2026 whether certain crypto assets can be classified as cash equivalents and how to handle the accounting issues related to crypto asset transfers. This decision comes against the backdrop of the Trump administration's push for crypto investment.

The FASB recently included these two crypto projects on its agenda, primarily targeting the accounting treatment of assets such as fiat-pegged stablecoins and "wrapped tokens." Previously, in 2023, the FASB required companies to use fair value accounting for crypto assets such as Bitcoin, but this did not cover NFTs and some stablecoins.

The GENIUS Act, passed by the Trump administration, established a regulatory framework for stablecoins but did not specify whether they could be considered cash equivalents. FASB Chairman Rich Jones stated that clarifying which assets do not meet the criteria for cash equivalents is equally important.

In addition, the FASB plans to explore accounting rules for the transfer of crypto assets to fill gaps in existing standards. Although only a few companies (such as Tesla and Block) currently hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets, demand for stablecoins is expected to increase with the implementation of the GENIUS Act.

These moves demonstrate that the United States is attempting to support the crypto industry by improving accounting standards, while responding to feedback from the industry and the public. The FASB is expected to finalize its agenda priorities by the summer of 2026.

Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny

The post Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The cryptocurrency world is buzzing with a recent controversy surrounding a bold OpenVPP partnership claim. This week, OpenVPP (OVPP) announced what it presented as a significant collaboration with the U.S. government in the innovative field of energy tokenization. However, this claim quickly drew the sharp eye of on-chain analyst ZachXBT, who highlighted a swift and official rebuttal that has sent ripples through the digital asset community. What Sparked the OpenVPP Partnership Claim Controversy? The core of the issue revolves around OpenVPP’s assertion of a U.S. government partnership. This kind of collaboration would typically be a monumental endorsement for any private cryptocurrency project, especially given the current regulatory climate. Such a partnership could signify a new era of mainstream adoption and legitimacy for energy tokenization initiatives. OpenVPP initially claimed cooperation with the U.S. government. This alleged partnership was said to be in the domain of energy tokenization. The announcement generated considerable interest and discussion online. ZachXBT, known for his diligent on-chain investigations, was quick to flag the development. He brought attention to the fact that U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commissioner Hester Peirce had directly addressed the OpenVPP partnership claim. Her response, delivered within hours, was unequivocal and starkly contradicted OpenVPP’s narrative. How Did Regulatory Authorities Respond to the OpenVPP Partnership Claim? Commissioner Hester Peirce’s statement was a crucial turning point in this unfolding story. She clearly stated that the SEC, as an agency, does not engage in partnerships with private cryptocurrency projects. This response effectively dismantled the credibility of OpenVPP’s initial announcement regarding their supposed government collaboration. Peirce’s swift clarification underscores a fundamental principle of regulatory bodies: maintaining impartiality and avoiding endorsements of private entities.
