As a seasoned practitioner in the realm of cryptocurrency and finance, I must inquire: should crypto assets truly be gauged based on fair value? The volatile nature of these digital currencies begs the question of whether traditional valuation methods are applicable. On one hand, proponents argue that fair value accounting offers a more accurate reflection of the assets' true worth, considering market conditions and future potential. However, critics contend that the inherent uncertainty and rapid fluctuations in crypto prices render fair value measurements unreliable. What are your thoughts on this matter? How should we balance the need for accurate valuation with the inherent risks associated with cryptocurrency?

Fair value measurement will require these entities to assess the market-based pricing of their crypto holdings at regular intervals.
