Reliance would be barred when the platform knows, has reason to know or should know that the representation is false or the issuer cannot or will not comply.<\/p>\n<p>Treasury says that diligence should, at minimum, confirm the issuer is not subject to a public GENIUS Act prohibition on secondary trading. That check would not be enough on its own. Platforms would also need to consider all reasonably available information about the issuer.<\/p>\n<p>That standard shifts the access decision to the businesses that list, sell, custody or otherwise make stablecoins available to US customers. The proposal does not identify qualifying tokens or decide whether USDT or any other named stablecoin can remain available.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed\">\n<p> <span class=\"cs-article-embed__related-reading\">Related Reading<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"cs-article-embed__title\">Treasury just put a deadline on offshore stablecoins\u2019 access to US customers<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"cs-article-embed__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\"> <i class=\"fa-light fa-arrow-up-right\"\/> <\/span> <\/div>\n<h2>Two gates for foreign issuers<\/h2>\n<p>The proposal has two timing points.

A qualifying foreign issuer would need supervision under a regime Treasury finds comparable, registration with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and sufficient reserves at a US financial institution for US customer liquidity unless a reciprocal arrangement provides otherwise. Its jurisdiction also could not be under comprehensive US sanctions or designated a primary money laundering concern.<\/p>\n<p>Those issuer-level tests would sit alongside the platform\u2019s diligence over lawful-order compliance. Even a foreign issuer with a potential Section 18 route would not receive an automatic pass from the exchange carrying its token.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed\">\n<p> <span class=\"cs-article-embed__related-reading\">Related Reading<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"cs-article-embed__title\">The GENIUS Act opened the door for stablecoins, but regulators want to narrow it<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"cs-article-embed__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\"> <i class=\"fa-light fa-arrow-up-right\"\/> <\/span> <\/div>\n<p>The proposal is not a blanket ban on holding or directly transferring foreign stablecoins. Its exemptions include lawful direct transfers between individuals without an intermediary, certain same-parent transfers between an individual\u2019s US and foreign accounts, and transactions through software or hardware wallets used for the individual\u2019s own custody.<\/p>\n<p>What counts as adequate platform diligence remains unsettled. Treasury is asking whether the final rule should require written or regularly updated issuer representations, record retention, smart-contract review, or checks of seize, freeze and burn functions. Those are questions, not current mandates.<\/p>\n<p>Comments on the Federal Register proposal close Oct. 19, 2026. Until Treasury finalizes the standard and regulators make issuer-specific decisions, US availability will depend on categories and compliance evidence rather than a published list of approved foreign stablecoins.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Featured,Regulation,Stablecoins,payments,stablecoins,Tetherpayments,stablecoins,Tether#Treasury #proposes #foreign #stablecoin #rules #exchanges1788106813<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Treasury\u2019s proposed rules under the GENIUS Act, the new US stablecoin law, would let US exchanges and other digital-asset service providers keep offering some foreign-issued payment stablecoins, but only if they can defend why they trusted the issuer\u2019s promise to comply with lawful US orders.
