ICYMI: @USComptroller Jonathan V. Gould sat down with @RealVision’s @AshBennington at the birthplace of capital markets, the New York Stock Exchange, to discuss the OCC’s implementation of the GENIUS Act. The OCC’s final rule establishes a clear, practical regulatory framework for payment stablecoin issuers, including strong standards for reserve backing, redemption and risk management.

There's lots of discussion about a16z dropping the word 'crypto'.
It's actually a sign of crypto winning. It's outgrown being a standalone sector and now runs through global finance and frontier tech: payments, trading, tokenization, AiFi, and much more.
We've spent more than a decade building this industry to make it useful everywhere, and we should welcome it escaping its own category. People used to say 'internet companies' - which is a prehistoric phrase now. Eventually, calling something a 'crypto company' should feel just as redundant.
Many of us (including me) will keep the word. But the millions, and soon billions, using it every day won't care what we call it.
They'll care what it lets them do.

Today, CCI was on the ground in Raleigh, NC, for a roundtable hosted by the Office of the Commissioner of Banks (NCCOB) on proposed changes to the state’s money transmitter statute.
We appreciate the opportunity to discuss potential impacts for virtual currency businesses and look forward to working with NCCOB on consensus based principles.

Thank you @SECGov for advancing regulatory clarity for crypto entrepreneurs and investors. And thank you to CCI members for your partnership in crafting thoughtful recommendations to help advance Regulation Crypto Assets' key objectives 🙏 ✍️

President Trump fundamentally transformed the future of finance with the signing of the GENIUS Act last year.
Today, U.S. Treasury’s @USOCC took a critical step toward implementing this historic legislation with the release of a final rule that delivers a federal framework for payment stablecoins that further cements American dominance in digital assets.
The @USOCC released its final GENIUS rule today. The OCC carefully reviewed comments, and it shows. Importantly, it stays true to the GENIUS Act's north star and text (e.g., no rebuttable presumption, capital tied to an issuer's risk, a more principles-based approach to reserve asset diversification, an appropriate case-by-case approach during licensing and registration, and more).
The purpose of the GENIUS Act was always to allow U.S. payment stablecoins to grow and gain adoption around the world, and the OCC's Final Rule furthers that objective. Thank you to @USComptroller, @SecScottBessent, and the staff at the OCC for their commitment to strong policy that ensures continued American leadership.
At the @USOCC, we have worked diligently and expeditiously to deliver the GENIUS Act final rule ahead of schedule to support President Trump's vision and @SecScottBessent's leadership to grow the economy and lead the global digital currency revolution.
Today marks the birth of a new industry having a federal framework for payment stablecoins in the digital age. It also brings us back to our original mission when the OCC was charged with the responsibility for organizing and administering a system of nationally chartered banks and a uniform national currency.

The GENIUS Act marks a watershed moment in American finance, further cementing the United States as the crypto capital of the world. Just as President Abraham Lincoln’s National Currency Act of 1863 established a national framework for bank-issued currency, the GENIUS Act establishes a federal framework for payment stablecoins in the digital age.
The @USOCC's final rule carries that landmark legislation forward, providing a clear, practical foundation for private-sector innovation, competition, and American leadership in digital assets.

The @USOCC released its final rule implementing the GENIUS Act requirements for payment stablecoin issuers under its purview. Thank you to @USComptroller Gould and the OCC for their leadership in advancing GENIUS implementation.
CCI appreciates that the OCC carefully considered public comments, including ours. The final rule follows the language of the GENIUS Act by eliminating the rebuttable presumption regarding rewards arrangements between issuers and affiliates or third parties. CCI looks forward to reviewing the final rule more closely.

In this Crypto Quick Take, we are joined by @_jikim, CEO of @crypto_council, as he discusses how regulatory clarity can shape the United States’ competitive position in the digital asset industry. He explains how jurisdictions like the EU, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan are moving forward with regulatory frameworks while the U.S. continues to develop its own. Ji Hun also shares why progress from agencies like the SEC, CFTC, and OCC will be important in providing clearer rules for the industry. Thank you, Ji Hun, for sharing your insights, and we’ll be back next week with another Crypto Quick Take!
