US federal regulators missed the one-year deadline under the GENIUS Act to finalize stablecoin regulations. Every major rulemaking remains a proposal, with comment periods open into September, leaving issuers a shrinking window to comply by the January 2027 effective date.
The GENIUS Act, signed into law on July 18, 2025, required regulators to issue final stablecoin rules within one year. Regulators failed to meet that deadline, with all proposals still in comment period.
No final rules have been issued; comment periods remain open until September. The effective date of the law (January 2027) is unchanged, but compliance timelines are tightening.
CoinMarketCap posts a breakdown of the GENIUS Act on its one-year anniversary, noting the race among banks, payment giants, and fintechs to launch products as regulators finalize rules.
