Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Information Collection; Comment Request; Applications for Licensing or Registration To Issue Payment Stablecoins Under the GENIUS Act

The OCC proposed a new information collection—application forms and data for entities seeking OCC licensing or registration to issue payment stablecoins under the GENIUS Act—and opened a comment period.

BlockQuake works in stablecoins and seeks federal registration clarity; if it plans to issue payment stablecoins, this sets the OCC application pathway and paperwork burden. If it only trades or custodies third-party stablecoins, it mainly signals that GENIUS Act licensing is operationalizing.

Confirm whether BlockQuake intends to be an OCC-licensed stablecoin issuer, and if so review the draft and file a comment before the deadline.
