## Source summary

ABA Banking Journal reports that FDIC Chairman Travis Hill expects the agency to issue final rules before the end of 2026 for payment-stablecoin issuer applications and prudential requirements under the GENIUS Act. Hill said the rules will likely follow the OCC's work and identified permissible activities, reserves, stressed redemptions and capital as core subjects. He also said the FDIC is considering a separate proposed resolution rule but gave no details.

## Why it matters

These rules would define how FDIC-supervised institutions may apply to issue payment stablecoins and what safeguards they must meet. No final rule had been issued when the article was published: the sequence and year-end timing are Hill's stated expectation, the OCC timing is reported rather than confirmed here, and the resolution proposal has no disclosed text. The report does not establish approval for any issuer or product.

## Key numbers

- **FDIC final-rule timing stated by Hill:** before the end of 2026 (expected, not yet issued)

## Topics and entities
