UZX announces new OCC rule setting standards for stablecoin issuers under GENIUS Act — OCC finalizes stablecoin issuer rules

UZX reported that the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has finalized new federal regulations for stablecoin issuers under the GENIUS Act, establishing reserve, redemption, and custody standards effective January 18, 2027. The rules apply to a wide range of banks and nonbank entities, with certain provisions regarding anti-money laundering and sanctions to follow in separate rulemaking.

The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) issued a final rule on October 21, 2026, implementing the GENIUS Act and establishing federal regulatory standards for payment stablecoin issuers. The rule outlines requirements for reserves, redemption, risk management, custody, capital, auditing, and supervision, and applies to national banks, federal savings associations, certain foreign and nonbank issuers, and state-qualified entities, with an effective date of January 18, 2027. The regulation excludes provisions related to anti-money laundering and sanctions, which will be addressed separately in coordination with the Treasury. The OCC noted the ongoing ban on offering interest for holding stablecoins, though third-party rewards will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The agency emphasized that the framework is designed to enable stablecoin innovation under federal oversight, and it will announce procedures for issuer applications and waivers at a future date.
