SEC updates staff guidance on accounting rules for USD stablecoins: Bloomberg
Quick Take The Securities and Exchange Commission has released new staff guidance on accounting rules for stablecoins, according to Bloomberg. The latest guidance suggests that USD-pegged stablecoins could be classified as cash equivalents contingent on having guaranteed redemption mechanisms.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has updated staff guidance on accounting rules for stablecoins, Bloomberg reported Monday.
Essentially, the fresh guidance suggests that stablecoins pegged to the U.S. dollar could receive cash equivalent classification, contingent on having guaranteed redemption mechanisms and value stability tied to another asset class, according to the Bloomberg report.
While the SEC works to formulate broader crypto rules, the latest interim guidance represents part of Chair Paul Atkins's effort to dismantle restrictive measures. For example, in April, the agency clarified that "covered" USD stablecoins are not deemed securities, while also confirming that entities handling stablecoin issuance and redemption do not need to register these activities with the commission.
Last week, Atkins unveiled Project Crypto , which builds on recommendations from the President's Working Group report and seeks to "modernize the securities rules and regulations to enable America’s financial markets to move on-chain."
Bernstein's analysis team called it an unprecedented crypto framework from U.S. regulators, one that could position America at the forefront of international financial evolution.

$3.7 billion “data center power equipment prepayments” abandoned! What did "the most active buyer of gas turbines", SoftBank, see?
In the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, SoftBank reported a net loss of $7.1 billion, primarily due to a $3.7 billion impairment charge from a $9.5 billion advance payment for power generation equipment for US data centers—of which about $2.9 billion was non-refundable and effectively lost. The CFO admitted that SoftBank placed orders before the project plan was finalized, and is now conducting a comprehensive review of its procurement strategy. "The most aggressive purchaser of gas turbines has now written off the deposit in this way."
