House Delays Vote on SEC Crypto Rule Amid Biden Letter

As an analyst with extensive experience in the financial sector and a deep understanding of the cryptocurrency industry, I am closely monitoring the latest developments regarding the U.S. House of Representatives’ vote to override President Biden’s veto on SAB 121. The delay in the vote due to a new debate on an unrelated topic is a significant development that adds complexity to the already intricate regulatory landscape surrounding cryptocurrencies.


The U.S. House of Representatives has pushed back its plan to overrule President Joe Biden’s veto on a contentious regulation affecting the cryptocurrency sector. This decision came after receiving a letter from the president, whose message remains undisclosed but is believed to have impacted the House’s timing.

The House originally planned to make a decision on H.J. Res. 109 at 10:30 AM on Thursday, but they now have to deal with another debate, resulting in a postponed vote for a later date.

The House of Representatives has shifted the timing of the vote on H.J. Res. 109 to 10:30AM on Thursday, July 11th, as they need to discuss a new issue and hold a debate first.

As a crypto investor, if I hold cryptocurrencies on behalf of clients under the SEC’s rules, I would need to report these digital assets as liabilities on my company’s balance sheet following SAB 121, issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2022.

As a crypto investor following the political landscape, I’ve noticed that previously, there was broad agreement among members of both the House and Senate to override the veto on this issue. However, despite this bipartisan support, we fell short of the required two-thirds majority in Congress. This means that more Democrats need to join the cause for us to successfully overturn the veto.

As a financial analyst, I would rephrase it as follows: The Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act, which was passed in May, lays out my role and that of other U.S. commodities and securities entities in overseeing the regulatory landscape for cryptocurrencies.

As the 2024 U.S. elections draw near, cryptocurrency regulation has emerged as a significant topic in the campaign discourses of President Biden and Donald Trump. There are claims that both candidates have adopted more favorable views towards crypto over the past year. This shift may be attributed to the growing influence of digital currencies in American financial and political debates.
