Fed opens comment on two GENIUS Act rules for Board-supervised stablecoin issuers

The Federal Reserve has put out two proposals building the framework for payment stablecoin issuers it supervises under the GENIUS Act. One covers reserve backing, capital, risk management and custody of backing assets; the other sets a tailored application, appeals and hearing process for banks seeking to issue. Comment runs 60 days from Federal Register publication. This segment covers what each proposal binds and where the pressure points sit.

  • First proposal requires full reserve backing with permissible assets, standardized capital for credit and operational risk, and custody rules for backing assets.
  • Second proposal sets a tailored application process for Board-supervised banks to issue stablecoins, with appeals, hearings and final determinations.
  • Comment period closes 60 days after publication in the Federal Register; Governor Barr issued a separate statement.

  • Proposed functionality includes account-to-account payments at the point of sale as an additional option to cards, and enhanced cross-border payments.

Bank of England sets £40bn issuance cap for systemic stablecoins, drops holding limits

The Bank of England has published its policy statement and draft Code of Practice for systemic sterling stablecoin issuers, revising two central proposals from its 2025 consultation. It swaps per-holder limits for a per-coin issuance guardrail and loosens backing-asset rules. This segment covers what changed, the timeline to finalisation, and how the regime splits from the FCA's.

  • Maximum backing held in interest-bearing short-term UK government debt rises from 60% to 70%, with the remainder in central bank deposits.
  • Consulted per-holder holding limits are dropped; a temporary per-coin issuance guardrail applies, initially set at £40 billion and reviewed regularly.
  • Feedback closes 22 September 2026; the Bank intends to finalise the Code by end-2026, allowing regulated stablecoins to operate from 2027.

CFTC opens comment on crypto asset market framework under existing commodity authority

The CFTC has published an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on how it would regulate retail crypto asset transactions under section 2(c)(2)(D) of the Commodity Exchange Act. This segment covers what the agency is asking, the new registration category it is floating, and the 60-day clock now running for anyone who wants to shape the eventual rules.

  • CFTC issued an ANPRM on retail crypto asset transactions under CEA section 2(c)(2)(D), published 5 October 2026.
  • It floats codifying a "crypto asset market" as a subcategory of designated contract market registration purpose-built for crypto transactions.
  • Comments are due within 60 days of Federal Register publication; the notice informs potential future rulemaking rather than proposing rules.

ECB's Cipollone sets 2029 digital euro target as trilogue nears deadline

Piero Cipollone laid out the ECB's full digital money strategy: a retail digital euro moving through trilogue, and the wholesale Pontes and Appia initiatives for tokenised settlement. The speech matters for the fresh financial-stability modelling on holding limits and for the concrete 2027 pilot and 2029 issuance timeline banks now need to plan against.

  • ECB aims for potential first digital euro issuance in 2029 if legislation concludes by end-2026; trilogue is under way with a Council push to finish this year.
  • Modelling of 2,025 banks shows holding limits up to €3,000 leave aggregate LCR at 163% and project a €127bn deposit inflow by 2034 under business-as-usual.
  • Pontes launched 21 September to settle tokenised transactions in central bank money, full implementation mid-2028; Appia blueprint targeted for 2028.

ESMA tells MiCA-licensed crypto firms to stop serving non-compliant stablecoins

ESMA has issued an opinion drawing a hard line around stablecoins that do not meet MiCA. It tells authorised crypto-asset service providers to cease offering any MiCA service connected to non-compliant asset-referenced and e-money tokens, and directs national regulators to enforce controls and clear legacy exposures within three months. This segment covers what binds, the carve-outs, and the compliance clock.

  • Authorised CASPs must cease all MiCA services linked to non-MiCA-compliant ARTs and EMTs for EU clients.
  • NCAs must require remediation of pre-existing exposures within three months of the 8 October 2026 opinion.
  • Residual activity is confined to liquidation, conversion, withdrawal, transfer or safekeeping, time-limited and supervised.

SRB flags resolution gaps for stablecoins in response to Commission's MiCA review

The Single Resolution Board has told the European Commission that the current MiCA framework leaves resolution authorities short of tools and information when stablecoin activity threatens credit institutions. This segment covers what the SRB is asking for, the four bank roles it has identified, and why the interaction between MiCA and the EU resolution rulebook is now on the table.

  • SRB says non-credit stablecoin issuers lack a dedicated resolution regime for systemic activity, beyond some supervisory and recovery measures.
  • It wants data-sharing, supervisor-resolution coordination and alignment of MiCA with BRRD and SRMR on reserves, segregation and depositor protection.
  • The response focuses on credit institutions as token issuers and as institutions funded by issuers and crypto-asset service providers.
