  • —Comments target the proposed rule under Section 3 of the GENIUS Act on stablecoin issuance
  • —Association asks Treasury to rule out an open-ended 'functional equivalent' test for monetary value
  • —It wants effective dates aligned with the GENIUS Act's provisions
  • —Treasury is also urged to revisit its cost estimates for the industry
