H.J.Res. 109 would overturn the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 121, which imposes restrictions on financial institutions regarding the custody of digital assets, under the Congressional Review Act . By overturning SAB 121, this bipartisan resolution would remove roadblocks that prevent highly regulated financial institutions and firms from acting as custodians for Bitcoin and digital assets.

This essentially makes it cost prohibitive for financial institutions to custody their customers’ digital assets.
