The rescission of SAB 121, a regulation that imposed restrictions on banks for custodying Bitcoin, is seen as a monumental shift in Bitcoin's path to mainstream adoption. The removal of these barriers paves the way for major banks to enter the Bitcoin ecosystem and integrate it into the global financial system. Preston Pysh, a prominent Bitcoin advocate, believes that this development is more significant than the concept of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, as institutional adoption driven by the rescission is harder to unwind and more likely to persist across political cycles. While concerns about centralization and potential misuse arise, Pysh points to mechanisms like in-kind redemptions as counterbalances to these risks. Overall, the rescission of SAB 121 represents a major breakthrough for Bitcoin and signals the beginning of a new era of adoption.
