Jan 18, 2027 - OCC's GENIUS Act goes live.
Stablecoin issuers: you have ~2 years to get your house in order.
New compliance boxes to check:
• Reserve requirements (actual backing, not vibes)
• Redemption standards (no more excuses)
• Capital minimums (show me the balance sheet)
• Smart contract audits (CertiK plug incoming)
If you're issuing or building on stables, this is your regulatory D-Day. Non-compliance = exit liquidity for your project.
TL;DR: Stablecoin wild west era ending. Adapt or get rekt by regulators.
