The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has unveiled a 376-page proposal to implement the GENIUS Act, marking a pivotal step in federal oversight of payment stablecoins. A 60-day public comment period begins immediately, inviting industry stakeholders to weigh in on the draft rules.

The framework defines the OCC's supervisory authority over qualified stablecoin issuers, mandating one-to-one reserves backed by highly liquid assets. Capital and liquidity requirements will be risk-tailored, reflecting each issuer's operational profile. "This proposal balances innovation with prudent oversight," stated Comptroller Jonathan V. Gould, emphasizing the agency's commitment to fostering a sound stablecoin ecosystem.

Jurisdictional clarity emerges as a cornerstone of the proposal, delineating the OCC's purview over specific issuer categories. Separate rulemakings will address ancillary obligations, including Bank Secrecy Act compliance. The MOVE signals accelerating institutional adoption of blockchain-based payment systems, though no direct cryptocurrency mentions appear in the current draft.

Risk warning: Digital asset trading is an emerging industry with bright prospects, but it also comes with huge risks as it is a new market. The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
