Comment Period: GENIUS Act Requirements and Standards for FDIC-Supervised Permitted Payment Stablecoin Issuers and Insured Depository Institutions

AGENCY:

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation

ACTION:

Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY:

The proposed rule would establish a prudential framework for FDIC-supervised permitted payment stablecoins issuers, including requirements related to reserve assets, redemption, capital, and risk management standards. The proposed rule would also establish requirements for FDIC-supervised permitted payment stablecoin issuers and insured depository institutions (IDIs) that provide certain payment stablecoin related custodial and safekeeping services. In addition, the proposed rule would address the applicability of pass-through insurance to deposits held as reserves backing payment stablecoins and would clarify that tokenized deposits that satisfy the statutory definition of “deposit” would be treated no differently under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act than any other types of deposits.

DATES:

Comments must be received by the FDIC no later than June 9, 2026.
