THE U.S. IS STARTING TO DEFINE THE RULEBOOK FOR STABLECOINS đșđžđ”
The U.S. Treasury has moved the GENIUS Act into the detailed rulemaking phase, focusing on when a stablecoin is considered issued in the United States and when an offering is considered directed at U.S. users. These definitions are critical for determining which organizations fall under the licensing framework.
The GENIUS Act was signed into law on July 18, 2025. Under the statute, its effective date is tied to the earlier of 18 months after enactment or 120 days after the primary federal regulators issue final implementing regulations.
Treasury is seeking input on how the law should apply to issuance, marketing, foreign stablecoins, anti-money-laundering requirements, sanctions compliance and the relationship between federal and state oversight. The consultation builds on an earlier rulemaking process that began in 2025.
Foreign-issued stablecoins, including USDT, are likely to receive particular attention. If the final framework sets strict requirements for overseas issuers, foreign stablecoins could face additional conditions when accessing the U.S. market.
The development marks an important transition: the GENIUS Act is moving from broad legislation toward concrete operating rules that could directly shape how stablecoins are issued and distributed.
Because stablecoins have become increasingly important to crypto-market liquidity, clearer regulation could strengthen confidence while simultaneously increasing compliance costs and narrowing the operating space for certain issuance models.
Will the GENIUS Act make the U.S. stablecoin market more transparent, or could it unintentionally strengthen the position of a small group of large institutions?
