A report from Tempo looks at proposed changes to US accounting rules and how they could affect stablecoins held by corporations. Cointelegraph covered it on Oct 12, 2026, in an article by staff writer Sam Bourgi.
The report's main point is about direct redemption rights. Under the proposal, whether a holder can redeem a token directly appears to decide whether a company may treat it as cash. Stablecoins that meet that test could become more attractive for corporate treasuries. Tokens that do not meet it would not qualify.
Several things are still unknown. The rules are proposed, not final. The coverage does not say when they could take effect, and it does not list which stablecoins would pass the redemption test.
For anyone already holding a perpetual position on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC or OKX, this changes nothing directly. The report is about how companies record stablecoins on their books. It says nothing about funding rates, trading fees or liquidity on derivatives exchanges.
