GENIUS Act stablecoin rules finalization deadline
18 July 2026 · All day · Crypto event · North America
Outcome
Under the US GENIUS Act, six federal regulators (OCC, FDIC, NCUA, Treasury, FinCEN and OFAC) were required to finalize rules for dollar backed stablecoin issuers by 18 July 2026, a framework that could affect regulatory clarity for stablecoins such as USDT used in informal Iranian currency trading. By the deadline none had issued final rules; only proposed rules were published, pushing finalization toward late 2026 or early 2027.
