Biden vetoes SAB 121, says repeal would ‘jeopardize’ consumers
The Government Accounting Office said that SAB 121 blocks regulated banking groups from offering custody services and creates a different standard for crypto compared to other financial assets. The House of Representatives and the Senate had both voted to repeal the SEC’s guidance by significant margins.
Banking groups and members of Congress sent letters to Biden, urging him to sign the resolution and overturn SAB 121. Senator Cynthia Lummis said Biden went against the “will of the American people” and continued failed policies. This veto suggests that, despite some expectations of a more positive stance on crypto, the Biden administration’s position remains largely unchanged and skeptical of the industry. [cryptobriefing]
