OCC signals it will waive stablecoin prior-approval bar for existing US issuers

The OCC has told national banks, federal savings associations and prospective stablecoin issuers how to file GENIUS Act applications and request waivers before the January 18, 2027 compliance date. The bulletin matters because issuing a payment stablecoin without approval carries criminal penalties, and the OCC is signalling where it will and will not grant relief during the application backlog.

  • Payment stablecoin issuers must comply with the GENIUS Act from January 18, 2027, and unapproved issuance carries criminal penalties.
  • Existing US issuers with a substantially complete application pending can request a waiver from the Prior Approval Requirement, which the OCC generally expects to grant unless more compelling reasons to deny emerge.
  • The OCC has identified no generally applicable reason to waive requirements other than the Prior Approval Requirement, citing the 18 months issuers have had to prepare since the act passed.
  • Section 5(f) limits any waiver to a period not exceeding 12 months from January 18, 2027, and the OCC expects to act on waiver requests generally by that date.
  • The OCC will begin accepting applications only after OMB approves the information collection for the application forms, and will announce the start by press release.

OCC finalises GENIUS Act stablecoin rule, effective January 2027

The OCC has published its final rule implementing the GENIUS Act for payment stablecoin issuers under its jurisdiction. It sets out the standards banks, federal savings associations and qualified issuers will operate under from January 18, 2027, and signals which parts of the regime are still pending. Anyone with stablecoin issuance or custody ambitions should read this as the near-final shape of the federal framework.

  • The final rule becomes effective January 18, 2027, the same date as the GENIUS Act itself.
  • Most requirements are housed in a new 12 CFR 15 covering reserves, redemption, custody, risk management and issuer applications.
  • BSA, AML and OFAC sanctions rules are excluded and will come in a separate rulemaking coordinated with Treasury.
  • The rule revises existing capital adequacy (12 CFR 3), prompt corrective action (12 CFR 6), fee (12 CFR 8) and procedure (12 CFR 19) regulations.
  • It binds national banks, federal savings associations, federal branches, foreign issuers, and federal and state qualified payment stablecoin issuers under OCC authority.

OCC revises weekly and quarterly stablecoin reporting forms alongside GENIUS Act final rule

The OCC has put revised reporting forms for payment stablecoin issuers out for a further round of comment, issued the same day as its final rule implementing the GENIUS Act. This segment covers who must file, the PS-01 and PS-02 start dates, and the short comment window that compliance teams at any firm registering as an issuer need to track now.

  • The OCC issued a final rule implementing the GENIUS Act for payment stablecoin issuers on 21 October 2026, the same day as this bulletin.
  • Weekly form PS-01, covering payment stablecoin activity and reserves, would take effect from the 25 January 2027 report date, subject to OMB approval.
  • Quarterly form PS-02, covering reports of condition and income, would take effect from the 31 March 2027 report date.
  • The collection applies to permitted payment stablecoin issuers and foreign payment stablecoin issuers for which the OCC has authority under the GENIUS Act.
  • Comments on the revised forms are due within 30 days of publication of the information collection in the Federal Register.
