The public consultation on the FDIC stablecoin rules has ended, and there are significant differences between banks and the cryptocurrency industry regarding yield incentives and deposit migration issues
According to PYMNTS, the comment period for the implementation rules of the GENIUS Act by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) ended on June 9. The proposal clearly states that payment stablecoins themselves do not qualify as deposits insured by the FDIC, and stablecoin holders do not enjoy pass-through deposit insurance. Industry feedback indicates significant disagreements in the payment sector.
Traditional institutions such as banks strongly oppose incentives like yields, rewards, or cashback offered by stablecoins, arguing that this would attract deposits away from banks, harming local lending capacity, and calling for a clear prohibition on any form of compensation within the stablecoin ecosystem; the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) technical committee suggested that the FDIC require the adoption of machine-readable reporting formats and Legal Entity Identifiers (LEI) to enhance transparency, regulatory information sharing, and data quality.
