U.S. regulators missed the one-year deadline under the GENIUS Act (signed July 2025) to issue final stablecoin rules, with key frameworks still in proposal or consultation stages as of July 2026. The law takes effect no later than January 18, 2027, leaving stablecoin issuers compressed preparation time despite regulatory delay.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 5 sources have reported it between 19 Jul 2026 and 22 Jul 2026.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you're building a stablecoin issuer, regulators have 6 months to finish rules that should have been done already, and the January 2027 deadline will not move. Build your compliance stack now—the final rules will land mid-August to September, and you'll have no grace period.
