PWC Goes Crypto: Accountants Finally Join the Party 🎉

by

PWC’s U.S. leader drops the calculator and picks up the blockchain 🚀, expanding crypto services like it’s suddenly 2024.

Paul Griggs, U.S. senior partner of Pricewaterhousecoopers (PWC), casually dropped in an interview with the Financial Times that the firm is “leaning in” to cryptocurrency work. Because apparently, years of caution weren’t paying the bills 💸. With the Trump administration’s unexpected love affair with digital assets and the Genius Act (because who doesn’t love a bit of legislation that sounds like it belongs in a sci-fi movie?), PWC is now diving headfirst into crypto audits, consulting, and tax services. Who knew accountants could get so wild? 🤯

Oh, and let’s not forget the stablecoin rules, which Griggs claims will “create more conviction” around this whole crypto thing. Translation: “We’re finally comfortable with this… maybe.” PWC plans to pitch stablecoin-based payment efficiencies while expanding its crypto-focused talent pool. Because nothing screams “innovation” like accountants in suits talking about blockchain. 🕴️💼
