The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) says it will publish a final rule to implement the GENIUS Act by November. OCC Comptroller Jonathan V. Gould makes the pledge in remarks on Aug. 19 at the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, with excerpts later released by the regulator.
Both outlets link the final-rule timeline to the broader regulatory process already underway. Cointelegraph reports that the OCC released a 376-page proposed rule in February for public comment, designed to set out requirements connected to the GENIUS Act. The reporting also notes the stablecoin law’s timeline, including a January 2027 effective date, which the proposed rules are intended to support.
Taken together, the accounts indicate the OCC is moving from its February proposal toward final implementation. The differing emphasis across sources is mainly on the OCC’s stated commitment to a November deadline versus the earlier details of the February proposal and its comment period. Neither outlet disputes the overall direction or timetable described by the OCC.
