The Biden Administration intends to veto a Republican bill that would allow US banks to provide crypto custody services.
House Resolution 109, which aimed to invalidate accounting guidance for banks offering crypto custody, passed through the House but did not receive a two-thirds majority.
The White House stated that the guidance, Staff Accounting Bulletin 121, is important for protecting investors and the financial system.
Critics argue that the guidance is prohibitive for banks and hinders the launch of crypto custody services.
