The US Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is evaluating whether to formalize accounting rules for crypto asset transfers, Bloomberg reported today.
FASB is considering adding crypto asset transfers to its formal agenda to address gaps in current derecognition practices. The discussions focus on broadening the 2023 crypto accounting framework to include transfer-specific guidance for improved financial transparency.
The potential addition would expand FASB’s existing crypto-related financial reporting guidelines, which the standard-setting body established in 2023 to provide clearer accounting treatment for digital assets.
