US legislative updates: SAB 121, potential presidential veto, and American Bankers Association's stance

E12 • May 17, 2024 • 5 mins

In this episode, Roni provides an update on the US legislative arena focusing on SAB 121, discusses the bipartisan effort to reverse an SEC rule, and covers statements by Nichols and Emma on the issue. The potential of a presidential veto, the controversy and implications of SAB 121, the American Bankers Association's stance, and criticisms on the SEC's rule introduction are also discussed.

Key Points

  • The United States Senate voted to repeal SEC's Staff Bulletin 121, a move seen by supporters as a response to regulatory overreach and important for the cryptocurrency industry.
  • Despite bipartisan support, the Senate's repeal of SAB 121 faces a potential presidential veto, as it did not achieve the two-thirds majority needed to override such action.
  • The American Bankers Association criticizes SAB 121 for its financial implications on banks and suggests modifications rather than a complete repeal, highlighting the need for a distinction between crypto and traditional assets.
