GENIUS Act rulemaking tracker

Congress gave the agencies one year to write the implementing rules. That deadline was July 18, 2026, and it passed. What follows is every rulemaking we can find, what it decides, and whether its comment window is still open.

Why it matters for the date

The Act takes effect on the earlier of eighteen months after enactment or 120 days after final implementing regulations. No agency has issued a final rule, so the 120-day path has not started and the eighteen-month backstop governs: Jan 18, 2027, 103 days away. A rule finalized from here can no longer pull the date forward, because 120 days from now lands after it.

Treasury — What it means to issue, offer or sell a payment stablecoin in the US

Proposed12d to comment

The perimeter question: when an issuer needs a licence at all, and when a coin is being offered or sold to a person in the United States. It determines who the rest of the regime applies to.

Market structure: the SEC and CFTC

With no market-structure statute from Congress, the SEC and CFTC are acting by rule and interpretation. These rows never move the GENIUS effective date above. Once one is final and touches stablecoin issuers, GenClara pins it.

SEC and CFTC — How the securities laws apply to crypto assets

Effective

Sorts crypto assets into categories and says which are securities. Its stablecoin section: until the GENIUS Act takes effect, issuing and redeeming a covered stablecoin is not a securities offering. Final and in effect; pinned in GenClara word for word.

SEC — Regulation Crypto Assets

Proposed13d to comment

Two registration exemptions for crypto-asset offerings ($5 million over four years; $75 million a year) and a conditional safe harbor from "investment contract". Aimed at token offerings, not payment-stablecoin issuers. A proposal, so not pinned.

How current this is

Each row shows the date a human last checked it against the primary source, and is flagged unverified once that is more than 21 days old. No row is past that today. Rulemaking stage is the thing that changes, so this page tells you when it was read rather than claiming to be live. Every row links to the agency, which is the only authority.

This software records implementation work you type or POST. It is not a law firm, accountant, or regulator. It is not legal advice, a legal opinion, a filing, an approval, an examination, or a statement that anyone complies with any law. Use is AS IS, without warranty. You are solely responsible for what you write and for any conclusion you draw.
