CoinTelegraph's October 12 crypto roundup: a Tempo report says FASB is weighing letting qualifying stablecoins count as cash equivalents if holders have direct redemption rights, with comments due November 19. FSB Chair Andrew Bailey warned G20 officials that cross-border stablecoin oversight remains immature and urged support for responsible AI practices. XRP Ledger developers defended a September 25 emergency patch that skipped the usual validator vote to fix a bug that could create XRP beyond its fixed supply.

CoinTelegraph's October 12 crypto roundup covers three developments: a report on a proposed US accounting change for stablecoins, a Financial Stability Board letter to the G20, and XRP Ledger developers defending an emergency patch.
Developers said a normal two-week validator vote would have left the flaw exposed, marking the first deliberate bypass of the amendment process in more than ten years.
Proposed US accounting rules could ease corporate stablecoin holdings. A Stripe-backed Tempo report says the Financial Accounting Standards Board is weighing whether qualifying stablecoins can count as cash equivalents on balance sheets. The change would hinge on direct redemption rights with issuers, and the proposal stays open for comment until November 19. Source: CoinTelegraph ↗

FSB flags immature stablecoin oversight and AI risks for G20. In a letter published Monday, FSB Chair Andrew Bailey wrote that cross-border mechanisms for stablecoin oversight and crisis management "remain immature or are not yet developed." The FSB's 2025 review found that 11 of 28 surveyed jurisdictions had finalized stablecoin frameworks. He also urged G20 members to support the FSB's newly finalized practices for responsible AI adoption in finance, ahead of their Thursday meeting. Source: CoinTelegraph ↗

XRP Ledger developers defend emergency patch that bypassed voting. The September 25 fix, released three days after a bug bounty report, addressed a bug that could create XRP beyond the network's fixed supply and took effect immediately on updated servers. Developers said a normal two-week validator vote would have left the flaw exposed. They said it was the first deliberate bypass of the normal amendment process since the system was introduced more than ten years ago. Source: CoinTelegraph ↗
