The Comptroller of the Currency finalized the federal stablecoin rulebook on Wednesday, and the most consequential sentence in the announcement is a subtraction. The final rule and its companion bulletin stand up a new 12 CFR Part 15 for payment stablecoin issuance, effective January 18, 2027, and they cover every regulation the agency must write under the GENIUS Act except one family: Bank Secrecy Act, anti-money laundering and sanctions rules, which go to a separate rulemaking with the Treasury.
