Implementing the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act for the Issuance of Stablecoins by Entities Subject to the Jurisdiction of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
The OCC proposes rules implementing the GENIUS Act to govern how entities subject to its jurisdiction may issue payment stablecoins and conduct certain related activities.
As a state-licensed MSB and exchange, BlockQuake isn't an OCC-supervised entity, so the rule doesn't directly bind it — but it defines the federal standard for who may issue the payment stablecoins BlockQuake trades and custodies, and opens a potential OCC path if BlockQuake pursues its own federal issuance and registration clarity.
Monitor the docket and consider commenting, weighing whether the OCC issuer pathway advances BlockQuake's federal-registration goals and how it affects listed and custodied stablecoins.
