CFTC expands stablecoin issuance standards to include national trust banks
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission has expanded its standards for issuing stablecoins to include national trust banks, Cointelegraph reported on Friday. The move follows the GENIUS stablecoin bill signed by President Donald Trump in July 2025. The law provides a comprehensive framework for regulating dollar-pegged stablecoins. It gained momentum after the FDIC proposed rules in December 2025 allowing commercial banks to issue stablecoins through subsidiaries under FDIC oversight.
