U.S. House fails to override Bidens veto of SAB-121
A majority of members of the U.S. House of Representatives voted against President Bidens support for the Securities and Exchange Commissions (SAB-121) crypto accounting policy, but fell short of the two-thirds vote needed to overturn the veto. SAB-121 requires banks to include customer crypto assets on their balance sheets, increasing banks capital requirements. Republicans pushed for its revocation even as the SEC negotiated with the banking industry to revise the policy. The Blockchain Association believes SAB-121 is a tool for the SEC to crack down on digital assets. The Government Accountability Office determined that the SEC viewed the policy as guidance rather than formal rules, and Congress attempted to overturn it through the CRA, but Biden vetoed it. Industry leaders met with lawmakers and White House representatives to call on the Biden administration to adjust its position.
Source: US SEC allows some companies to be exempted from cryptocurrency accounting policy SAB 121
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has opened a path for banks and brokerages to avoid reporting customer cryptocurrency holdings on their balance sheets, but companies must offset the risks posed by those assets to get around controversial cryptocurrency accounting guidance that has become a target of Congress.
SEC staff has begun issuing guidance that, based on guidance issued two years ago, may not require liabilities to be reported on the balance sheet for certain arrangements, said an SEC source familiar with the matter.
Several large banks that began consultations with SEC staff in 2023 received permission to bypass balance sheet reporting to ensure their customers’ assets are protected in the event of a bankruptcy or failure. Other measures, such as internal safeguards designed to better protect those assets, would address legal risks associated with the emerging asset class, the person said.
It also said the SEC believes the guidance has worked and that companies have made adjustments to address the threats posed to investors by hacker attacks and business failures.
The SEC’s accounting stance could expand the range of companies that U.S. cryptocurrency holders can choose to house their growing portfolios. Banks say the accounting treatment effectively prevents them from offering crypto services because larger balance sheets would trigger capital requirements set by bank regulators, not the SEC.

U.S. CFTC Chairman Urges Congress to Act Quickly on Crypto Regulation
Rostin Behnam, chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), urged Congress to act quickly to enact cryptocurrency regulations.
While Senate Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow said her latest crypto market regulation proposal will soon be presented to committee members, the committee’s ranking Republican member John Boozman said feedback from industry leaders suggests the proposal does not yet have enough support.
Behnam stressed that Congress’s failure to enact a regulatory solution not only harms investors but also puts the United States at a disadvantage in global competition. The Senate Agriculture Committee has been working on legislation that would give the CFTC the power to regulate spot trading of digital commodities. Stabenow hopes to share specific legislative wording with committee members by the end of the week.

QCP Capital released a market analysis pointing out that the market expects a 70% chance of a rate cut in September, and this optimism is reflected in the continued rise of the stock market, but has not yet been digested by the cryptocurrency market. BTC front-end volatility rose 5 points this morning, and risk reversals favored the upside, indicating that the market expects potential upside volatility. In addition, the German government transferred 10,000 BTC to exchanges and market makers yesterday. The wallet now holds only 15,000 BTC, compared to the initial 50,000 BTC in mid-June, indicating that supply pressures may have eased. With reduced supply, weaker CPI data may be a catalyst for breaking through this range, especially with the upcoming spot Ethereum ETF trading next week, where risk-reward opportunities are expected.

Animoca Brands co-founder Yat Siu published an article explaining the meaning of tokens and the purpose of Mocaverse. He said that NFTs, due to their unique nature and ability to reflect personal identity and cultural capital, create deeper and more complex network effects than homogeneous tokens. Brand loyalty to companies such as Hermes, Nike or Apple is easily observed, and a similar cultural rise has begun to be seen in the virtual world, such as projects such as Pudgy Penguins and Bored Ape Yacht Club, as well as Animoca Brands Mocaverse.
Mocaverse is an interoperable infrastructure stack designed to enhance network effects and bring together various cultural economies for maximum mutual benefit. It integrates multiple fields such as games, music, sports, animation, NFTs, digital identifiers (DIDs) into a cohesive ecosystem. Mocaverse and MOCA Coin represent cultural capital, which may seem objective today (like most NFTs), but as the Mocaverse reputation layer grows and increasingly rewards and incentivizes the creation of cultural capital, it will become more social and symbolic in meaning and purpose.

The RN/National Rally led by Le Pen has made significant progress in the polls, which seems to indicate that the far-right party is expected to win an absolute majority in the June 30 election, increasing the risk of a French Brexit and the current finance minister has also warned of a possible financial crisis. The rise of NR marks a turbulent period in European politics, with far-right parties making significant gains relative to mainstream ruling parties under pressure from immigration policies and rising living costs.
