U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Public Affairs Press Release: April 8 , 2026 Contact: Treasury Public Affairs, Press@treasury.gov Treasury Proposes Rule to Implement the GENIUS Act’s Requirements to Counter Illicit Finance Promotes American Leadership in Payment Stablecoins WASHINGTON —Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) issued a joint proposed rule to implement provisions of the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act (GENIUS Act). The proposed rule, which implements the GENIUS Act’s anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance program requirements, encourages innovation in payment stablecoins while providing an appropriately tailored regime to mitigate potential illicit finance risks. “President Trump is strengthening American leadership in digital financial technology,” said Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent . “This proposal will protect the U.S. financial system from national security threats without hindering American companies’ ability to forge ahead in the payment stablecoin ecosystem.” The GENIUS Act provides a framework for the federal regulation of payment stablecoins. The law directs Treasury to issue regulations that would treat permitted payment stablecoin issuers (PPSIs) as financial institutions for purposes of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and impose anti-money laundering obligations on PPSIs. The GENIUS Act also mandates that PPSIs maintain an effective sanctions compliance program and directs Treasury to issue appropriate regulations implementing such obligations. The proposed rule would subject PPSIs to requirements applicable to financial institutions relating to prevention of money laundering and impose obligations specified in the GENIUS Act. Consistent with FinCEN’s efforts to modernize BSA requirements, the proposed obligations are designed to be fit for purpose, assist law enforcement, and minimize unnecessary burden. The proposed rule would require PPSIs to adopt and maintain an effective sanctions compliance program as required by the GENIUS Act. Read more about the proposed rule here . FinCEN and OFAC welcome public comments on the proposal, which will be published in the Federal Register in the coming days.

U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Public Affairs Press Release: April 9 , 2026 Contact: Treasury Public Affairs, Press@treasury.gov Treasury Launches Cybersecurity Information Sharing Initiative for the Digital Asset Industry WASHINGTON – Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure Protection (OCCIP) announced a new initiative to strengthen cybersecurity across the digital asset industry. The initiative will provide timely, actionable cybersecurity information to eligible U.S. digital asset firms and industry organizations, helping them better identify, prevent, and respond to cyber threats targeting their customers and networks. The effort advances a key recommendation from the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets report, Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Financial Technology . Treasury leadership highlights the growing importance of digital asset firms to the broader financial system. “Digital asset firms are an increasingly important part of the U.S. financial sector, and their resilience is critical to the health of the broader system,” said Luke Pettit, Assistant Secretary for Financial Institutions. “By extending access to the same high-quality cybersecurity information used by traditional financial institutions, Treasury is helping promote a more secure and responsible digital asset ecosystem.” Treasury also emphasized that cybersecurity is foundational to the future of digital finance and essential to responsible innovation. “This initiative reflects the principles of the GENIUS Act by promoting responsible innovation grounded in strong cybersecurity and operational resilience,” said Tyler Williams, Counselor to the Secretary for Digital Assets. “As digital assets become more integrated into the financial system, access to timely and actionable cyber threat information is essential to protecting consumers and safeguarding the stability of U.S. financial markets.” Treasury cybersecurity officials noted that the initiative responds directly to a rapidly evolving threat environment. “Cyber threats targeting digital asset platforms are growing in frequency and sophistication,” said Cory Wilson, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Cybersecurity. “This initiative expands access to actionable threat information that helps firms strengthen defenses, reduce risk, and respond more effectively to incidents.” Eligible U.S. digital asset firms and industry organizations that meet Treasury’s criteria will be able to receive, at no cost, the same actionable cybersecurity information Treasury regularly shares with traditional U.S. financial institutions. Interested firms are encouraged to contact OCCIP at OCCIP-Coord@treasury.gov for more information. ###
