Circle Proposes 6 Stablecoin Regulatory Principles to OCC, Advocates Separate Oversight from Tokenized Deposits

Circle submitted a comment letter to the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) on May 5 regarding implementation details of the GENIUS Act. The stablecoin issuer proposed six regulatory principles for payment stablecoins, emphasizing separate regulatory treatment from tokenized deposits and strengthened systemic risk management frameworks. Circle stated that stablecoins must meet standards of redeemability, transparency, trustworthiness, and institutional-grade risk controls as they become part of the global financial system. The GENIUS Act marks the first U.S. regulatory framework specifically designed for payment stablecoins, with OCC rules covering reserve management, information security, and 24/7 operational requirements.
