House Decision on Biden’s Veto Crucial for Crypto Sector

House members are expected to take up the matter on either Tuesday or Wednesday to decide whether or not to override the veto of Senate Bill 121. In the last seven days, the SAB 121 has caused a great deal of anxiety, particularly in the cryptocurrency sector.

According to Coingape, a lot of people in the cryptocurrency business are worried that the bulletin will make banks reluctant to provide cryptocurrency custody services.

The advisory states that cryptocurrency custodial companies are required to report their clients' cryptocurrency holdings as a liability on their financial statements. In its defense, the SEC has referred to SAB 121 as "non-binding staff guidance" that improves customer disclosures.

It was resolved in May to repeal the SAB 121 laws, but the Biden administration chose to veto it. Nevertheless, this could be overturned by the US House.

The US will issue the CPI and PPI statistics for June this week. House Financial Services Committee will likely hear a semi-annual monetary policy hearing from Fed chair Jerome Powell. There is currently a 50% probability of a 25 basis points rate drop by November of this year.
