🏛️📜 OCC JUST DROPPED THE MOST IMPORTANT STABLECOIN RULES EVER
This changes EVERYTHING for stablecoins. 👇
📋 THE PROPOSAL:
US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) proposed new rules for stablecoins under the GENIUS Act:
🔒 KEY REQUIREMENTS:
• 1:1 reserve backing (no fractional nonsense) ✅
• NO yield payments to users 🚫
• Strict reserve requirements
• Foreign issuers must comply for US access
📅 TIMELINE:
• 60-day public comment period
• Takes effect by January 2027
💡 WHY THIS IS HUGE:
1. INSTITUTIONAL CONFIDENCE
Clear rules = banks can finally enter
2. BUSINESS MODEL SHIFT
No yield = stablecoins must make money elsewhere
3. FOREIGN COMPLIANCE
Tether, others must follow US rules or lose market
4. CIRCLE WINS
USDC already compliant - this is MOAT
🗣️ INDUSTRY REACTION:
"This is what we've been waiting for"
"No yield kills some DeFi protocols"
"Tether in trouble?"
👇 IMPACT ON YOUR PORTFOLIO:
🟢 = Bullish for USDC
🔴 = Bearish for offshore stablecoins
🤷 = Don't use stablecoins anyway
