Fed Proposes Two-Day Stablecoin Redemption Rule, but $76B Stays Locked on Exchanges

  • —Fed draft sets a two-business-day redemption deadline for stablecoin issuers
  • —About $76 billion in stablecoins sits locked on exchanges and intermediaries
  • —Circle Mint and Tether require verified clients; Tether sets a $100,000 minimum
  • —For retail holders, exit timing is governed by exchange terms, not the Fed rule
Why it matters: In stress episodes, exit speed determines whether a depeg stays a blip or becomes a panic, and without venue requirements the protection covers only large clients.
