U.S. banking regulators are moving to finish a new federal rulebook for payment stablecoins ahead of the GENIUS Act’s planned start in January. Multiple outlets report that the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is targeting November for its final regulations.
Both sources cite remarks by OCC Comptroller Jonathan Gould at the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, where he discusses the timeline for completing the regulations. The GENIUS Act, signed by President Trump, establishes a framework intended to govern payment stablecoins. The outlets focus on the regulator’s schedule, with the parallel point that the OCC wants the final rule finalized before the law takes effect.
While the coverage is largely aligned, the framing differs slightly: one outlet emphasizes the “racing the clock” aspect of regulatory deadlines, while the other highlights that the effort is directly tied to implementing the newly signed stablecoin legislation by November. Both agree on the key deadline and the OCC’s role in producing the final rule.
