The Federal Reserve's proposed stablecoin rules under the GENIUS Act (issued September 24, 2026) focus on two main areas:
1:1 Reserve & Capital Standards: Supervised payment stablecoin issuers must fully back tokens with high-quality liquid assets (like short-term U.S. Treasuries) and maintain standardized capital buffers for operational and credit risk.
Bank Application Framework: Establishes a formal application, review, and appeals process for Fed-supervised banks seeking to create stablecoin-issuing subsidiaries.
The draft rules are open for a 60-day public comment period.
