Tether and Other Non-US Stablecoin Issuers Have Two Years Left to Determine US Compliance Strategy

Odaily Odaily reports that the US stablecoin regulatory bill, the GENIUS Act, has now been in effect for one year. Non-US issuers such as Tether have two years remaining to establish compliance strategies to meet US stablecoin issuance rules.
The bill originally required federal financial regulatory agencies to finalize stablecoin rulemaking before the one-year mark, but the relevant rules have not yet been issued, leaving the compliance pathway uncertain.
Under the basic framework of US standards, Tether’s USDT would need to undergo multiple significant adjustments before the rules take effect in order to meet legal requirements.
