Uniform Treatment of Custodial Assets Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 118th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Uniform Treatment of Custodial Assets Act
This bill addresses the accounting treatment of certain assets, including digital assets, at financial institutions.
For example, under the bill, federal regulatory entities are prohibited from requiring specified financial institutions to include as a liability on financial statements assets that are held in custody or safekeeping by the institution. This applies to assets associated with a cryptographic key held in custody or safekeeping by the financial institution. However, if cash held by an institution for a third party is commingled with the general assets of the institution, that cash may be treated as a liability.
