Republicans in the US House of Representatives and Senate are urging the SEC to rescind Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 121 (SAB 121).
They claim that SAB 121 evaded the notice and comment rulemaking process and has negative impacts on custody rules for cryptocurrencies, consumer protections, and financial innovation.
The politicians argue that SAB 121 was issued without consulting prudent regulators and deviates from established accounting standards.
A repeal bill for SAB 121 received bipartisan support but was vetoed before it could be implemented.
