The GENIUS Act — signed into law on July 18, 2025 — marks the first comprehensive U.S. legislation governing payment stablecoins. This program provides attorneys and compliance professionals with a detailed overview of the Act’s core provisions, including licensing requirements for Permitted Payment Stablecoin Issuers, reserve and reporting obligations, restrictions on custodians and service providers, treatment of foreign issuers, and the Act’s clear exclusion of payment stablecoins from securities and commodities regulation. Attendees will gain insight into key compliance deadlines, strategic implications for financial institutions and startups, and how this law reshapes the regulatory landscape for digital assets.
