The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. advanced a major proposed rulemaking on banks this afternoon in its latest effort to implement key portions of the GENIUS Act, the first stablecoin regulation passed by Congress last summer.
The FDIC board, chaired by Travis Hill, advanced the 191-page proposed rulemaking on a 3-0 vote. Hill hailed the “tremendous progress” made in digital asset policy in recent years, “including a rapid shift in the posture of the federal government.”
