Coin World News, Hyperliquid Policy Center (HPC) and Paradigm jointly sent a letter to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, calling for amendments to the anti-money laundering rules proposed by FinCEN and OFAC to implement the Genius Act. The two parties support limiting the compliance obligations of stablecoin issuers primarily to the primary market but believe that OFAC's proposal to extend responsibility to secondary market transactions driven by smart contracts could make issuers liable for transactions they cannot practically control, thereby weakening the application of regulated stablecoins in DeFi and open blockchain environments. Both organizations recommend further narrowing the relevant definitions and re-evaluating the regulatory requirements for smart contract interactions.

Paradigm's move this time is quite crucial, splitting smart contracts and issuer responsibilities; otherwise, DeFi really can't function.

Does OFAC want to regulate the secondary market as well? Publishers can’t control on-chain transactions at all—this logic is just absurd.

It is recommended to re-examine smart contract interactions — in plain language: don't let the coders take the blame for other people's transactions.

The tug-of-war before the implementation of Genius Act: the primary market belongs to the issuers, and the secondary market belongs to the code; this boundary must be clearly defined.

HPC and Paradigm team up—this lineup shows that the stablecoin regulatory contest has entered deep waters.
