Regulatory News

Federal Reserve Proposes Requiring Some Stablecoin Issuers to Implement Customer Identification Programs

According to the Federal Reserve's official website, the Federal Reserve Board issued a proposal to require certain payment stablecoin issuers to establish and maintain effective Customer Identification Programs (CIP). This proposal would subject relevant stablecoin issuers to regulatory requirements comparable to those for banks and credit unions regarding customer identification. It was jointly released by the Federal Reserve, the U.S. Treasury's Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), and the U.S. Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). Regulators are now soliciting public comments, with the submission deadline set for 60 days after the proposal is published in the Federal Register.

The proposed rule requires "Permitted Payment Stablecoin Issuers" (PPSI) to be treated as financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) within the GENIUS Act framework and must establish effective Customer Identification Programs (CIP), covering account opening, identity verification, list screening, and recordkeeping. The rule will apply to federally and some state-regulated stablecoin issuers. Federal Reserve Vice Chair for Supervision Michael Barr issued a statement on the proposed rule, supporting the inclusion of payment stablecoin issuers under the Bank Secrecy Act framework and requiring them to establish CIP systems comparable to those of banks.

Chebeskov also stated that small fiat-backed stablecoins from friendly jurisdictions may also be allowed, including ruble stablecoins and UAE dirham stablecoins. Russia's cryptocurrency regulation bill must be passed by July 1, granting non-professional investors legal access to crypto for the first time, but with an annual investment cap of 300,000 rubles (approximately $4,000).

New Brazilian Bill Proposes Permanent Financial Sandbox to Support Blockchain and Tokenization Testing

According to Livecoins, Brazilian Federal Deputy Lincoln Portela introduced Bill No. 2,901/2026, proposing the establishment of a national framework for fintech and digital finance platforms, creating a permanent regulatory sandbox system for testing blockchain technology and asset tokenization, supervised by the Central Bank of Brazil. The bill requires regulatory requirements to be proportional to company size, allowing smaller fintech startups to apply simplified standards, and prohibits the government from imposing bureaucratic obligations incompatible with the digital nature of the crypto asset market. The sandbox testing scope includes financial flow tracking, artificial intelligence credit applications, and programmable payment practices.

The bill also allows companies to share network infrastructure and institutionally adapted databases, subject to data protection regulations. The cooperation mechanism aims to combat financial crimes in cryptocurrency transactions, promote customer identification, and enhance cybersecurity. The bill also proposes establishing a National Digital Financial Integrity System to coordinate cyber regulatory actions and combat criminal structures using crypto assets to conceal wealth. Fines for non-compliant companies can reach up to 20% of their annual profit or revenue. The bill will be discussed in the committees of the Chamber of Deputies.

Achieving Tenfold Market Cap Growth in One Year, What Game is the Trump Family-Backed USD1 Playing?

PANews Summary: The USD stablecoin USD1, primarily issued by the Trump family, has rapidly seen its market cap climb to $4.6 billion, leveraging unique political and business advantages and backing from Middle Eastern capital. Relying on US policy exemptions, deep cooperation with Binance, and interest income from BitGo custody, USD1 is accelerating its global compliance and commercial expansion.

At the application level, the project has not only launched DeFi lending and cross-border remittance platforms but is also expanding borderless payments through a partnership with the Spacecoin low-earth orbit satellite network. More forward-looking, USD1 released the AgentPay SDK open-source toolkit, filling the gap in automated settlement within the AI economy through agent self-custody and the integration of online and offline consumption scenarios.

Despite currently facing a special investigation by the US Congress regarding potential conflicts of interest, USD1 still demonstrates a grand ambition to extend the dollar on-chain to the global real-world and agent economy.

Do Robots Need Crypto Wallets Too? Stablecoin Giant Tether Bets on German Company NEURA Robotics

PANews Summary: German robotics company NEURA Robotics completed a $1.4 billion Series C funding round led by stablecoin giant Tether, with participation from Amazon and Nvidia, reaching a valuation of $7 billion. Starting with environment-aware collaborative robots, NEURA is gradually expanding into humanoid robots and other fields, and leveraging the Neuraverse platform to accumulate and reuse data.

Tether's involvement completes the financial and intelligence foundation for robots: on one hand, integrating a self-custodial wallet (WDK) enables robots to execute automatic programmable payments and micro-settlements within preset rules (such as by work hours or usage), extending stablecoins into machine payment infrastructure; on the other hand, deploying the QVAC edge AI runtime framework achieves millisecond-level local decision-making and reduces cloud dependency. This not only opens a new real-world interface for crypto settlement but also signals Tether's accelerating expansion into the AI and infrastructure sectors.

SEC Proposes to Repeal 20-Year Core Rule: The Biggest Obstacle to Tokenized US Stocks is Disappearing

PANews Summary: The US SEC voted to propose repealing Rule 611 (Order Protection Rule) and Rule 610(e) of Reg NMS, which have been in effect for 20 years. This move clears the biggest market structure obstacle for tokenized US stocks and automated market makers (AMMs). Due to their bonding curve mechanism, AMMs could not comply with the National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO) on a per-transaction basis, easily constituting a violation under the old rules.

After the repeal, regulation will shift to the principle-based broker best execution obligation (FINRA 5310), allowing brokers to route orders to on-chain liquidity pools through periodic reviews. This reform, driven by current SEC Chair Atkins, confirms his 2005 prediction that the old rules would lead to liquidity hiding off-exchange (now over 50% of trading volume is off-exchange). This marks the SEC executing its "crypto roadmap," first dismantling the hardest market structure obstacles, then addressing subsequent issues like venue registration through innovation exemptions.
