  Certainly! The FASB provides guidance on how to recognize and derecognize crypto assets in financial statements. According to FASB ASC 350-30, an entity should recognize a crypto asset if it meets the definition of an asset and the criteria for recognition are met. Similarly, derecognition of a crypto asset should occur when the criteria for derecognition are met. This ensures that the financial statements accurately reflect the entity's ownership and rights related to the crypto assets.
