  Digital currency exchanges need to adhere to the accounting guidelines set forth by FASB 133, which requires them to recognize and measure their digital currencies at fair value. This means that the exchanges must regularly assess the value of their digital currencies and record them on their financial statements accordingly. Additionally, FASB 133 also requires exchanges to disclose any significant risks and uncertainties associated with their digital currency holdings. By following these accounting practices, exchanges can provide more transparency and accuracy in their financial reporting.
