Classification of some cryptocurrencies as securities by the SEC was seen in the crypto community as really annoying and red tape to make business more difficult. I just realised that it was actually not fully negative. The SEC and regulators by doing this recognized cryptocurrencies to actually be a serious financial instrument. (By comparing them to traditional securities) It is then when they recognized crypto as something serious, threatening and worth regulating. By doing this they give crypto credibility. First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, <- last several years then they join you <- next stop this year Do you agree?

🚀 The US House Financial Services Committee voted to overturn SEC's SAB 121, paving the way for banks in crypto custody! 🏦 The resolution, introduced by Rep. Mike Flood and Rep. Wiley Nickel, aims to eliminate barriers hindering banks from becoming digital asset custodians. 🔗 SAB 121, introduced in March 2022, forces banks to record crypto holdings as liabilities, impacting regulatory obligations. 💼 If passed in the House and Senate, this resolution could reshape the crypto landscape, but challenges lie ahead. ⚖️ Emotions run high, with Rep. Tom Emmer criticizing SAB 121 as "illegal," while Rep. Maxine Waters sees irony in the move. 🤔 #CryptoRegulation #SEC #CryptoCustody #FinanceRevolution 🌐✨

With just a simple "Do you have crypto?" form, the risk of an audit increases. If you deny holding crypto when you actually do, take note: following the 2021 Infrastructure Act, brokers are now required to report 1099 information on crypto gains, losses, and other related data. Stay informed and remain compliant. 🔍📊
