FDIC Board Sunshine Act Meeting - Stablecoin Issuers, AML/CFT, Reputation Risk
Summary
The FDIC Board of Directors held an open meeting on April 7, 2026, under the Government in the Sunshine Act (5 U.S.C. 552b), to consider three regulatory items: a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on GENIUS Act requirements for permitted payment stablecoin issuers, a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on AML/CFT programs, and a Final Rule prohibiting the use of reputation risk by regulators. The meeting was open to public observation via webcast from the FDIC Board Room in Washington, DC.
What changed
The FDIC Board met to consider regulatory items spanning digital payments and traditional banking supervision. The GENIUS Act NPRM would establish requirements and standards for FDIC-supervised permitted payment stablecoin issuers and insured depository institutions. The AML/CFT NPRM would update anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing program requirements. The Final Rule prohibits the use of reputation risk by regulators in their supervisory processes.
Affected parties including stablecoin issuers, insured depository institutions, and banks subject to AML/CFT requirements should monitor for the publication of these proposed rulemakings in the Federal Register and prepare to submit comments during the designated comment periods. The prohibition on reputation risk in regulation may affect how banks interact with supervisory agencies.
What to do next
- Monitor for upcoming GENIUS Act stablecoin rulemaking comments
- Review AML/CFT proposed rulemaking when published
- Track final rule on reputation risk prohibition for implementation
