The OCC's final stablecoin regulations prompt concerns among US credit unions about competitive disadvantages and potential loss of deposits due to stablecoin yields exceeding traditional rates. The delayed NCUA framework and the removal of yield restrictions risk banks and fintechs capturing market share before credit unions can effectively participate.
