FDIC Board Meeting - Stablecoin, AML/CFT, and Reputation Risk Rules
Summary
The FDIC Board will meet on April 7, 2026, to consider three regulatory items: a proposed rule on stablecoin requirements under the GENIUS Act for FDIC-supervised permitted payment stablecoin issuers and insured depository institutions; a proposed rule on Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism programs; and a final rule prohibiting the use of reputation risk by regulators. The meeting is open to public observation via webcast.
What changed
The FDIC has scheduled a Board meeting for April 7, 2026, to consider two Notices of Proposed Rulemaking and one Final Rule. The proposed rulemakings address: (1) GENIUS Act requirements and standards for FDIC-supervised permitted payment stablecoin issuers and insured depository institutions, and (2) Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) programs. Additionally, the Board will consider a final rule prohibiting the use of reputation risk by regulators.
Compliance officers at FDIC-supervised institutions should monitor for the publication of these proposed rulemakings in the Federal Register and prepare to submit comments by the specified deadlines. Institutions engaged in stablecoin issuance or traditional AML/CFT compliance programs should review the proposed requirements when published and assess potential operational impacts. The meeting will be broadcast publicly via the FDIC website.
What to do next
- Monitor for publication of the proposed rulemakings in the Federal Register following the Board meeting
- Review stablecoin-related requirements if your institution issues permitted payment stablecoins
- Assess AML/CFT program requirements when the proposed rule is published
