OCC Final Rule Moves U.S. Stablecoin Law Into Implementation

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency issued a final rule for payment stablecoin issuers on Oct. 21, setting a concrete step in the federal implementation of the GENIUS Act. Congress enacted the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act (GENIUS Act) on July 18, 2025. The OCC rule sets requirements for reserves, redemptions, risk management, audits, reporting and supervision for issuers within the agency’s jurisdiction. The Federal Reserve Board separately sought public comment on proposals for stablecoin issuers it supervises. Beyond stablecoins, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued an interpretation on March 17 that took effect March 23. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) joined the interpretation to provide guidance on administering the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA).
