The U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board plans to study in 2026 whether crypto assets such as stablecoins can be classified as cash equivalents.

PANews reported on December 31 that the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) plans to study in 2026 whether certain crypto assets can be classified as cash equivalents and how to handle the accounting issues related to crypto asset transfers. This decision comes against the backdrop of the Trump administration's push for crypto investment.

The FASB recently included these two crypto projects on its agenda, primarily targeting the accounting treatment of assets such as fiat-pegged stablecoins and "wrapped tokens." Previously, in 2023, the FASB required companies to use fair value accounting for crypto assets such as Bitcoin, but this did not cover NFTs and some stablecoins.

The GENIUS Act, passed by the Trump administration, established a regulatory framework for stablecoins but did not specify whether they could be considered cash equivalents. FASB Chairman Rich Jones stated that clarifying which assets do not meet the criteria for cash equivalents is equally important.

In addition, the FASB plans to explore accounting rules for the transfer of crypto assets to fill gaps in existing standards. Although only a few companies (such as Tesla and Block) currently hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets, demand for stablecoins is expected to increase with the implementation of the GENIUS Act.

These moves demonstrate that the United States is attempting to support the crypto industry by improving accounting standards, while responding to feedback from the industry and the public. The FASB is expected to finalize its agenda priorities by the summer of 2026.

World Liberty Financial Approves 100% Treasury Fee Allocation for Token Buybacks

The post World Liberty Financial Approves 100% Treasury Fee Allocation for Token Buybacks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. World Liberty Financial passes governance proposal with 99.8% community support Platform will use all treasury liquidity fees for WLFI token buybacks and burns Token remains down 28% from launch despite previous burning of 47 million tokens World Liberty Financial has passed a governance proposal directing 100% of treasury liquidity fees toward token buybacks and permanent burns following disappointing price performance since its September launch. The Trump family-backed cryptocurrency project secured overwhelming community approval with 99.8% voting in favor while only 0.06% opposed the measure. The approved mechanism aims to reduce circulating supply and create additional demand through systematic token removal from markets. According to the governance proposal, this strategy “removes tokens from circulation held by participants not committed to WLFI’s long-term growth and direction, effectively increasing relative weight for committed long-term holders.” Multi-Chain Implementation Targets Supply Reduction The buyback program will collect fees from WLFI liquidity positions across Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana networks. These accumulated fees will fund open market purchases of WLFI tokens, which are subsequently sent to burn addresses for permanent removal from circulation. However, the proposal lacks specific estimates regarding fee generation amounts, making it difficult to assess the potential market impact of the buyback operations. The platform has not disclosed projected revenues or timelines for meaningful supply reduction through this mechanism. The governance vote occurred nearly three weeks after WLFI’s September 1 token launch, which resulted in a 40% price decline within the first three trading days. This sharp correction caused substantial losses for early investors and whales who participated in the initial distribution. Current market data shows WLFI trading at $0.2223, representing a 28% decline from launch levels according to CoinMarketCap. The continued price weakness persists despite the project’s previous attempt to support valuation through a 47 million token burn executed on September 3.…
