Well, well, well. According to Acting FDIC Chair Travis Hill (aka the new sheriff in town), the agency is this close to dropping a rule that’ll make stablecoin issuers beg for federal oversight like it’s the last slice of pizza. 🍕 Deadline? Before Santa slides down the chimney in December 2025. Ho ho ho, indeed.
What’s in the Draft? (Spoiler: It’s Not a Love Letter)
Reports say this initial proposal is all about the “application framework”-basically, the bureaucratic red tape, disclosures, and standards firms need to jump through to get approved. 📑 Think of it as the DMV of stablecoins, but with more at stake than your driver’s license photo.
Oh, and don’t get too comfy-this isn’t the final rule. That’s coming later, with all the juicy details on capital, liquidity, and reserves. Early 2026, people. Mark your calendars. 📅
Market Reaction: Cue the Drama
Thanks to the GENIUS Act (yes, that’s its actual name-no notes), the FDIC is now the cool kid in charge of bank-related stablecoins. Deadlines? Check. Drama? Double check. 💼✨
This move is supposed to give firms clarity (lol) on issuing USD-pegged coins under federal supervision. Some might even pause their launches-because nothing says “I’m serious” like hitting the snooze button. ⏸️
Stablecoin: The Law’s Wild Ride
The GENIUS Act (still can’t with that name) was passed in mid-2025 and signed by President Trump on July 18, 2025. Senate: 68-30. House: 308-122. Democracy in action, baby. 🇺🇸
The statute basically plays matchmaker, assigning agencies to their roles and demanding a sequence of rulemakings. Capital standards? Check. Liquidity? Check. Chaos? Triple check. 🔄
Public Comment Period: Let the Whining Begin
After the FDIC drops its rule, there’ll be a public comment period-because nothing says “fun” like letting banks, firms, and industry groups air their grievances. 🗣️ Popcorn not included.
Prudential measures (aka the boring but important stuff) will follow early next year. Minimum capital cushions? Reserve asset standards? Yawn. But analysts will be watching like hawks. 🦅
Will the FDIC stick to bank-sponsored stablecoins, or will they go full-on power trip? And how strict will those capital requirements be? Stay tuned for the 2026 Regulatory Olympics. 🏅
Oh, and let’s not forget the coordination with other agencies. Because nothing says “efficiency” like a dozen regulators in a room. 🤡
