โ๏ธ GENIUS Act Stablecoin Deadline Just Passed โ Tether Has 2 Years to Comply or Exit US Platforms
July 18 was the GENIUS Act's deadline for final U.S. stablecoin regulations, putting non-compliant issuers like Tether (USDT) on a two-year clock to meet federal licensing, capital, and AML requirements or face delisting from U.S. crypto platforms. Under the new framework, the OCC gains issuer authority while FinCEN handles AML โ a major structural shift for the $150B+ stablecoin market. The SEC and CFTC also published a joint March framework classifying 16 crypto assets as commodities, not securities. Is this the regulation moment the market has been waiting for? Not financial advice.
