The FDIC will propose a rule explicitly barring stablecoin holders from obtaining deposit insurance through third-party financial firms, closing a potential loophole in the GENIUS Act. This rule aligns with the act's intent to exclude stablecoins from federal deposit guarantees, intensifying banking sector concerns about stablecoin competition.

You face a clear regulatory wall blocking deposit insurance for stablecoin holders, so you must build growth plans without banking protections and prepare for increased scrutiny and competition from traditional banks. That door closing is a direct challenge if your model relies on stablecoins as deposit substitutes.
