\n

According to prepared testimony<\/a> from Acting FDIC Chair Travis Hill, the agency expects to publish a proposed rule that lays out how stablecoin issuers will apply for federal oversight before the end of December 2025.<\/p>\n

What The Draft Will Cover<\/h2>\n

Based on reports<\/a>, the initial proposal will focus on the \u201capplication framework\u201d \u2014 the paperwork, disclosures and standards firms must meet to seek approval as regulated stablecoin issuers.<\/p>\n

The proposal is not the final set of bank-level rules; it will outline the process, while a second proposal that spells out capital, liquidity and reserve requirements is slated for early next year.<\/p>\n

Market Reaction And Immediate Impact<\/h2>\n

Reports have disclosed that the GENIUS Act, the law behind this process, named the FDIC as a lead regulator<\/a> for bank-related stablecoins and set deadlines for implementing agencies to act.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The move is expected to provide clearer guidance for firms that want to issue USD-pegged coins under federal supervision. Some firms could alter their timelines or pause launches until the rules are final.<\/p>\n

Stablecoin: How The Law Got Here<\/p>\n

The GENIUS Act<\/a> was passed by Congress in mid-2025 and signed into law by US President Donald Trump on July 18, 2025. The Senate approved the bill by a 68\u201330 vote and the House backed it 308\u2013122.<\/p>\n

The statute lays out which agencies do what, and it requires a sequence of rulemakings, such as capital and liquidity standards, that regulators must implement.<\/p>\n


\nPublic Comment Period<\/p>\n

Officials say the FDIC\u2019s first proposed rule will be followed by a public comment period, giving industry groups, banks and nonbank firms a chance to respond.<\/p>\n

After that, prudential measures aimed at FDIC<\/a>-supervised issuers \u2014 the rules that set minimum capital cushions and reserve asset standards \u2014 will be proposed early next year.<\/p>\n

Analysts and industry observers will be watching closely to see whether the FDIC limits its oversight mainly to bank-sponsored stablecoins or seeks a broader scope.<\/p>\n

They will also pay attention to how strict the capital and liquidity requirements will be when the rules are proposed in early 2026.<\/p>\n

Coordination with other regulatory agencies will be another key focus, since the GENIUS Act assigns responsibilities across several federal regulators.<\/p>\n
