🚨 A historic step forward for U.S. stablecoin regulation! Bessent compares the GENIUS Act to banking reforms in the Lincoln era—could the USDC and USDT landscape be about to change?

🇺🇸 U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent recently said that finalizing the rules for implementing the GENIUS Act marks an important milestone in U.S. financial history. He likened it to the National Currency Act of 1863, emphasizing that the U.S. is working to establish a unified federal regulatory framework for digital dollar payments.

The focus of this regulation is not just to allow stablecoins to grow, but also to clarify the rules issuers must follow.

📌 The OCC’s final rule covers reserve management, redemption mechanisms, risk controls, and authorization for issuing payment stablecoins. The provisions are scheduled to take effect on January 18, 2027. From then on, companies issuing payment stablecoins in the U.S. will generally need to obtain the relevant authorization, and issuing them without approval may result in penalties.

💡 Jiujiu’s take: For the stablecoin industry, this means competition may gradually shift beyond who has the largest market share to include who can meet regulatory requirements, ensure reserve transparency, and handle redemptions reliably during market volatility.

For USDC and USDT, greater regulatory clarity could create more opportunities for compliant payments, institutional settlements, and business applications, but each issuer will still face its own compliance challenges. The implementation of regulations also doesn’t mean demand for stablecoins will necessarily surge.

More importantly, stablecoins are gradually evolving from trading-market tools into infrastructure for cross-border transfers and everyday payments. If their use cases continue to expand, stablecoins could further connect traditional finance with the blockchain ecosystem.

Three things to watch next: how issuers apply for authorization, how reserve and redemption requirements are implemented, and how trading platforms and payment providers adjust their partnership strategies.

⚠️ A clear regulatory framework does not mean all stablecoin risks have disappeared. Reserve quality, redemption capacity, and real-world demand remain key factors in assessing a stablecoin’s reliability.
