Wu Shuo learns that the U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), in conjunction with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Federal Reserve, and the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), is seeking public comments on customer identification (CIP) rules for stablecoin issuers. According to the GENIUS Act, licensed payment stablecoin issuers will be considered financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and are required to establish and maintain a customer identification program (KYC). The comment period will last for 60 days after the publication in the Federal Register.

FinCEN has gathered a group of regulatory agencies in a joint statement, and the signal is very clear: stablecoins are no longer in the gray area.
This is good for the industry in the long term, but short-term pain is unavoidable, and small issuers may be washed out.

A 60-day public consultation period, and it’s likely that Circle and Tether are already working overnight on the materials. Under the BSA framework, doing a CIP, forcing traditional anti-money laundering processes into crypto—will user experience collapse?

The GENIUS Act is getting serious now; stablecoin issuers will follow KYC standards similar to banks, and compliance costs are about to rise again.
