🇺🇸 SEC Allowed to Classify Stablecoins as Cash Equivalents

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has released a new temporary clarification stating that USD stablecoins can be considered cash equivalents. This is possible with a guaranteed redemption mechanism and a stable peg to fiat currency.

Now, companies will be able to account for such assets similarly to cash, simplifying financial reporting.

This move is part of the SEC's efforts to create a regulatory framework for digital assets. Earlier in April 2025, the regulator confirmed that 'covered' dollar stablecoins are not considered securities.
