According to PYMNTS, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in the United States has until June 9 to solicit comments on proposed rules for stablecoin issuers. The draft clarifies that payment stablecoins themselves are not bank deposits insured by the FDIC; if stablecoin reserve assets are held at a bank, they will be considered insured corporate deposits of the issuer, but stablecoin holders do not have access to full FDIC deposit insurance. Comment letters indicate that yield incentives, deposit migration, reporting standards, and interoperability remain the main contentious issues in the payments industry.

Interoperability disputes are interesting; each token issuer wants to create their own closed loop, and once regulators step in, standardization becomes even more difficult.

The core of the draft is one sentence—stablecoins are not deposits, don't expect FDIC backing, the issuer bears the risk themselves.

FDIC is quite skilled at this move; stablecoins aren't considered deposits, reserves are counted as corporate deposits, holders have no insurance, and in the end, the protection benefits the banks, not the users.

The real concern in the payment industry is whether deposits will migrate to the blockchain on a large scale and whether banks will be rendered powerless.

Deadline is June 9th. Currently, the industry is mainly discussing yield incentives and interoperability. It seems that compliance costs will once again be passed on to users.

Penetrating insurance was rejected—so if the reserves of USDC kept in banks run into trouble, who are stablecoin holders supposed to cry to when the bank fails?
