🇺🇸 US Treasury Moves to Implement the GENIUS Act.
The U.S. Treasury is now seeking public feedback on rules for implementing the GENIUS Act, the landmark stablecoin law signed in July 2025. The proposed rules focus on defining when a stablecoin is considered issued in the U.S. and when companies are offering or selling stablecoins to U.S. users.
Under the framework, payment stablecoin issuers generally need an appropriate federal or state license. Digital asset platforms will also face restrictions around foreign-issued stablecoins unless those issuers can meet U.S. legal and regulatory requirements.
The law is expected to take effect on January 18, 2027, while some restrictions on offering unlicensed payment stablecoins to U.S. users come into effect later. Treasury is giving the public 60 days to submit comments after the proposal appears in the Federal Register.
This is another major step toward bringing stablecoins into a defined regulatory framework. For crypto, the bigger implication is that regulated dollar-backed stablecoins could become increasingly integrated into the U.S. financial system, while issuers and exchanges that don't meet the new requirements could face significant restrictions.
