About This Course

The GENIUS Act takes effect January 18, and the rules behind it are still landing. This one-hour session cuts through the noise so you know exactly where your institution stands. You’ll leave knowing which regulator oversees each part of the stablecoin ecosystem, what the final rule actually requires on reserves, redemption, yield and AML/CIP, and which open proposals could still change your plans. Most important, you’ll walk away with a practical 90-day readiness plan you can take straight to management and the board. It works whether you plan to partner with an issuer, support customers who hold stablecoins, or simply understand your exposure.

What You Will Learn

  • Describe the core requirements of the GENIUS Act and distinguish between obligations that apply on the effective date and those that phase in later.
  • Identify the federal and state regulators responsible for overseeing stablecoin issuers, partner institutions, and third-party vendors, including the state-certification path.
  • Interpret the OCC final rule’s requirements for reserves, redemption, yield limits, and AML/CIP, and recognize pending proposals that may affect compliance planning.
  • Develop a 90-day readiness plan that addresses due diligence, policy updates, and board communication based on the institution’s stablecoin involvement.
