The American Bankers Association and other financial trade groups are urging FinCEN and the Federal Reserve to withdraw and rewrite a proposed rule under the GENIUS Act. They argue the current proposal, which would mandate querying a FinCEN database for every law enforcement request to combat fentanyl trafficking, is overly broad and operationally burdensome.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

A proposed US rule could force you to check a new government database with every single law enforcement request you receive. If you are building in payments or banking, this is a significant and uncosted compliance burden heading your way.
