Breaking news. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the United States recently announced plans to explore whether cryptocurrencies such as stablecoins can be classified as cash equivalents by 2026. Not only that, they are also studying accounting treatment standards for crypto asset transfers and wrapped tokens.

These two key issues have officially been added to the board's agenda, indicating that new accounting standards are likely to emerge in the future. If these standards are implemented, they will have a profound impact on asset management and financial disclosure across the industry.

As early as 2023, the board had already begun to focus on this area. This move further indicates that the status of crypto assets within the mainstream financial system is being re-evaluated. Regardless of the final outcome, this trend itself is worth close attention from exchanges and token holders.

Can stablecoins be classified as cash equivalents? If this really happens, traditional finance will need a reshuffle. --- Action won't be taken until 2026; this pace is really slow, it feels like we have to wait a long time again. --- Once accounting standards are standardized, the green light for institutional entry will be on. I'm optimistic. --- Actually, I've been paying attention since 2023. Why is it only now being officially arranged? The review process in the US is really slow. --- The key still depends on how it's ultimately defined. Do stablecoins really count as cash equivalents? That logic is a bit far-fetched. --- Haha, isn't this just the official gradually acknowledging the legitimacy of crypto? It's just that the steps are very small. --- Holders should pay attention now; don't be caught off guard when the standards are finally released. --- New standards and new regulations, and in the end, it's just a bunch of compliance costs coming down. Small exchanges will be finished.

Oh no, are stablecoins finally going to be officially listed? About time they did this. --- It won't be implemented until 2026... still need to wait two more years. How will we get through these days? --- Basically, regulators want to bring us into their system, with pros and cons. --- Once accounting standards are released, there will definitely be a bunch of institutions signaling bottom fishing... same old tricks. --- Is this committee reliable? Feels like they're just going through the motions. --- Cash equivalents? Uh... depends on how they define that. --- Exchanges need to start preparing materials; compliance is unavoidable. --- Once the standards are implemented, the market is likely to move. Those who have laid out early will be laughing to the bank.

Is it only being discussed in 2026? How long do we have to wait? --- Should stablecoins be included as cash equivalents? It needs to be very stable. --- Isn't this just mainstream finance gradually compromising... It should have been like this a long time ago. --- If accounting standards change, exchanges will have to re-audit their financial statements, right? That’s troublesome. --- Starting to discuss standards that will only be released in 2026 is really slow. --- That's a good thing, at least it shows they are taking us seriously. --- But it will probably take another two years before it actually lands... --- The question is, what impact will the standards have on prices? That’s the key point. --- What do holders care about? Anyway, once the standards are set, we can't change them.
