The U.S. Department of the Treasury has announced a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) aimed at implementing the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act. This marks the first regulatory step taken by Treasury regarding the Act, which addresses payment stablecoin issuers.

The NPRM allows issuers with a total outstanding issuance of up to $10 billion to seek regulation under a state-level regime, provided it closely aligns with federal regulations. This initiative is designed to create a coherent framework that balances state and federal oversight, fostering innovation while ensuring regulatory compliance.

Treasury is inviting public comments on the proposal from all stakeholders, reflecting its commitment to a transparent rule-making process. This effort builds on prior engagement with the public, emphasizing the importance of input from various sectors as the U.S. moves to shape the regulatory landscape for stablecoins.
