Treasury lets states file for stablecoin approval before finishing their rules
- —Rule took effect Sept. 30, but filings begin only after Paperwork Reduction Act approval
- —Conditional filing does not start the committee's 30-day approval-or-denial clock
- —Flexibility applies to state-qualified issuers with up to $10 billion in outstanding stablecoins
- —Initial certification deadline is Jan. 18, 2028; comments due Nov. 30
Why it matters: The rule speeds up the GENIUS Act stablecoin regime by giving states time to finish legislation without losing their filing window.
