What to know:
- The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., which regulates thousands of banks in the U.S., has issued its first proposal of a rule governing the application process for issuing stablecoins.
- The propsoal would effect depository institutions that want to set up subsidiaries for issuing the dollar-backed tokens.
The U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. has rolled out the first official rule proposal stemming from the new law governing stablecoin issuers, with its board voting Tuesday to open a 60-day public comment period on its system for handling applications from its regulated banks looking to issue stablecoins from subsidiaries.

The agency — led by Acting Chairman Travis Hill, who is also President Donald Trump's nominee for the permanent seat — will gather comments and review them before it can release a final rule. The Tuesday proposal, approved by all three members of the shorthanded board, would establish the procedures for accepting applications, reviewing them under a 120-day approval window and offering an appeal process for those rejected.
"Under the proposal, the FDIC would adopt a tailored application process that would enable the FDIC to evaluate the safety and soundness of an applicant’s proposed activities based on the statutory factors while minimizing the regulatory burden on applicants," said Hill, whose nomination could be confirmed as soon as this week by the Senate.
The Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act was the first major crypto law approved by Congress, and it set out a complex array of regulators for companies wishing to issue stablecoins, the dollar-tied tokens vital to transactions in the digital assets sector. For insured depository institutions, the FDIC is the assigned regulator.
Hill said that another more substantial rule will emerge "in the months ahead" that will establish the FDIC's capital, liquidity, and risk management requirements for such issuers.
Under the proposed application process, interested institutions would have to submit letters describing their businesses, including financial information and their plans for running a safe and steady issuance.

BlackRock Increases U.S. Stock Exposure Amid AI Surge
The post BlackRock Increases U.S. Stock Exposure Amid AI Surge appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Points: BlackRock significantly increased U.S. stock exposure. AI sector driven gains boost S&P 500 to historic highs. Shift may set a precedent for other major asset managers. BlackRock, the largest asset manager, significantly increased U.S. stock and AI sector exposure, adjusting its $185 billion investment portfolios, according to a recent investment outlook report.. This strategic shift signals strong confidence in U.S. market growth, driven by AI and anticipated Federal Reserve moves, influencing significant fund flows into BlackRock’s ETFs. The reallocation increases U.S. stocks by 2% while reducing holdings in international developed markets. BlackRock’s move reflects confidence in the U.S. stock market’s trajectory, driven by robust earnings and the anticipation of Federal Reserve rate cuts. As a result, billions of dollars have flowed into BlackRock’s ETFs following the portfolio adjustment. “Our increased allocation to U.S. stocks, particularly in the AI sector, is a testament to our confidence in the growth potential of these technologies.” — Larry Fink, CEO, BlackRock The financial markets have responded favorably to this adjustment.
