Treasury Proposes Stablecoin Regulatory Framework
The U.S. Treasury Department has announced a public comment period on proposed rules implementing the GENIUS Act, landmark stablecoin legislation signed into law last year. The Treasury is soliciting stakeholder input on a rule that would establish core definitions and jurisdictional boundaries for stablecoin issuance and sale in the United States.
A key component of the Treasury proposal would restrict which entities can legally sell stablecoins to U.S. customers, with compliance requirements set to take effect in January 2027. The public comment process represents an effort to finalize regulations before the statutory deadline, though the timeline remains tight for industry adaptation.
