OCC final rule banning stablecoin interest takes effect January 18, 2027

  • —OCC rule bars interest and investment yield on stablecoins from Jan 18, 2027
  • —Official Jonathan Gould said the rule was finished ahead of schedule
  • —Coinbase, PayPal and Kraken yield programs face case-by-case review
  • —Evernorth filed with the SEC to register up to 11.5M shares for $132.2M in warrants
Why it matters: The ban undercuts exchange yield products and sets the template for the remaining GENIUS Act stablecoin rules.
