The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has expanded the regulatory framework for stablecoins, allowing national trust banks to issue USD-pegged tokens under the GENIUS Act framework. This means the US government permits trust banks to tightly regulate the issuance of their own USD-backed stablecoins. This move shifts stablecoins from the private crypto sector into a regulated financial system with clear oversight, auditing, and legal standards. As a result, stablecoins are now eligible to participate in large-scale trading markets, derivatives, and futures contracts.
