US securities regulator opens door for Wall Street banks to hold crypto

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has rescinded an accounting rule that forced banks to treat bitcoin and other crypto assets as liabilities on their balance sheets.

The SEC's decision to revoke the rule comes after years of lobbying by the crypto industry and could lead to expanded digital offerings from Wall Street banks.
