what changed

Treasury proposes regulations implementing GENIUS Act §3, defining who may issue payment stablecoins and limiting their offer and sale in the U.S.

why it matters to blockquake

As a U.S. digital-asset exchange that lists and sells stablecoins to retail and institutional customers, the offer-and-sale limits would confine BlockQuake to distributing only stablecoins from permitted issuers — reshaping its trading pairs, custody support, and any ambition to issue its own stablecoin, while advancing the registration clarity it seeks.

recommended action

File a comment during the open period and audit every listed stablecoin against the permitted-issuer definition to plan delistings or restrictions before the rule finalizes.
