Next week, the House of Representatives could cast a decisive vote on President Joe Biden’s veto of the contentious Staff Accounting Bulletin 121 (SAB 121). This proposed rule, requiring SEC-reporting entities to account for cryptocurrencies on their balance sheets, is on the House’s “legislation that may be considered” list, as per a <a href="https://www.majorityleader.gov/schedule/weekly-schedule.htm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">schedule</a> from House Majority Leader Steve Scalise. 
A constitutional duty, the House must vote again on the presidential veto, with the votes potentially happening on Tuesday or Wednesday. Back in May, a bipartisan majority in both the House (228-182) and Senate (60-38) voted to overturn SAB 121 before Biden’s veto later that month. 
Critics argue that SAB 121 would restrict American banks from managing cryptocurrency exchange-traded products at scale, leading to a “concentration risk” by shifting control to non-bank entities. To override Biden’s veto, a two-thirds majority in both chambers is necessary. 
Given the earlier support—55.6% in the House and 61.2% in the Senate—the resolution will need additional backing, particularly from Democrats, to succeed. Alexander Grieve of Paradigm, a cryptocurrency investment firm, noted, “Steep hill to climb but not impossible given how bipartisan the FIT vote was.”

 Remember when Biden vetoed the SAB121 rollback? It’s back on the House floor next week — let’s see if the House can rally a 2/3 vote to overturn the veto (steep hill to climb but not impossible given how bipartisan the FIT vote was) <a href="https://t.co/2wfWEf49Q5" target="_blank">https://t.co/2wfWEf49Q5</a>— Alexander Grieve (@AlexanderGrieve) <a href="https://twitter.com/AlexanderGrieve/status/1809290876566319164?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">July 5, 2024</a>

 If House Dems do not override the President’s veto on SAB121, they will lose the crypto vote in an already challenging election year. <a href="https://t.co/AGl1b8uW3N" target="_blank">https://t.co/AGl1b8uW3N</a>— yuga.eth 🛡 (@yugacohler) <a href="https://twitter.com/yugacohler/status/1809324202241228931?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">July 5, 2024</a>

As the 2024 U.S. election approaches, President Biden and Republican candidate Donald Trump are intensifying their campaigns, <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/06/16/trump-vows-to-end-joe-bidens-war-on-crypto-if-elected/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">both increasingly focusing</a> on digital assets.&nbsp; 
Kerri Langlais, chief security officer at Bitcoin miner TeraWulf, said that this shift in attention is a positive development for the industry. “Albeit to different degrees, both Biden and Trump’s original positions on crypto have shifted favorably our way in the last year. We should continue to build on that progress with our education and political efforts,” Langlais emphasized.
