BlackRock urges changes to GENIUS Act implementing rules amid differences with OCC

BlackRock has urged the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to withdraw a provision that would cap tokenised assets at 20 percent of stablecoin reserve assets, saying the limit is unnecessary. It said reserve-asset risk should be judged by liquidity, maturity and credit quality, not whether assets are tokenised. BlackRock also asked for clarity on what qualifies as eligible reserves, including whether Treasury ETFs qualify, and proposed adjustments to diversification options in the draft rules.
