The US Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) recently announced a major development — they plan to initiate discussions on the classification of stablecoins and other crypto assets in 2026. Specifically, FASB will examine whether these assets can be included under "cash equivalents" and will also review accounting treatment methods for crypto asset transfers (including cross-chain wrapped tokens). These two topics have been added to FASB's official technical agenda, indicating that new accounting standards are likely to be established in the future. This marks an important step toward standardization and mainstream adoption for the entire crypto industry. Once these standards are implemented, companies and institutions will have clear guidelines for financial disclosure and handling of crypto assets.

2026? Still need to wait another two years, the dream of mainstream adoption is still a bit far away.

Acting only in 2026, and still waiting and waiting... Institutions are still too cautious.

Will it move in 2026? How long do we have to wait? Now institutions are almost using it already, haha

honestly this is the farm-to-fork verification moment crypto's been waiting for... finally someone's cooking up real accounting standards instead of that half-baked tokenomics soup we've been eating lol

2026? Waiting another two years, this efficiency is really top-notch --- Will stablecoins truly be included as cash equivalents, and will institutions really hold them honestly then? I doubt it --- The accounting treatment for cross-chain wrapped tokens definitely needs standardization; it was a mess before --- Standardization is a good thing, but I worry that the final standards will just be a bunch of restrictive clauses --- Moving in 2026? Feels like the industry is developing so fast it's already on Mars, and they're still negotiating on Earth --- If it can truly be recognized as a cash equivalent, the status of stablecoins will skyrocket --- The problem is, once the standards are out, will there be a bunch of exemption clauses given to big banks? --- Finally, someone is going to properly organize this matter, otherwise each company just makes up rules on their own --- Don't celebrate too early; how many standards has FASB issued that ended up being useless...
