The arithmetic is the story: 87 days separate the October 23, 2026, delivery of the GENIUS Act’s stablecoin application forms to the Office of Management and Budget from the January 18, 2027, compliance date fixed by the GENIUS Act final rule . That gap is the entire runway between a rule that is final and a filing door that remains bolted shut. What fills it is not market speed, but the deliberate sequence of federal review. The stakes are not abstract.
