U.S. Regulators Miss Deadline for Implementing GENIUS Act

U.S. financial regulators missed the 18 July deadline to release final implementation rules for the GENIUS Act stablecoin regulation, publishing only draft proposals and comment periods instead. The effective date remains tied to either 18 January 2027 or 120 days after final rules are issued, with no penalties specified for regulatory delay.
