đŸ‡ș🇾BREAKING: The Fed has proposed its GENIUS Act rules, requiring stablecoins it oversees to be fully backed by Treasury bills and other high-quality assets.

Proposal one:

- Stablecoins must be fully backed by permissible reserves, such as short-term Treasury bills and other high-quality, liquid assets.

- Issuers face standardized capital requirements covering credit and operational risks, plus risk management standards.

- New rules cover firms that safekeep stablecoin reserves, and clarify which stablecoin activities Fed-supervised banks can carry out.

Proposal two:

- Fed-supervised banks applying to issue stablecoins must submit a business plan and financial information.

- The proposal also sets a process for appeals, hearings and final decisions on applications.

"Stablecoins will only be stable if they can be reliably and promptly redeemed at par in a range of conditions," says Fed Governor Michael Barr.

The comment period closes 60 days after publication in the Federal Register.
