Stablecoins Are Coming: Compliance & Risk Readiness for U.S. Banks and Credit Unions
December 11, 2025
REGISTER NOWDescription:
Stablecoins are no longer a distant concept—they’re about to become a mainstream channel in the electronic banking ecosystem. The GENIUS Act and other regulatory frameworks are laying the groundwork for banks and credit unions to issue, custody, and settle stablecoin transactions alongside ACH, FedNow®, and RTP®.
In this 90-minute session, we’ll break down what every compliance officer, risk manager, and operations leader needs to know before stablecoins arrive on your balance sheet:
- Regulatory Landscape: What the GENIUS Act, OCC guidance, and other federal initiatives actually say about bank-issued stablecoins.
- Participation Models: How FIs can engage—as issuers, custodians, settlement agents, or service providers—and what risk/compliance obligations come with each role.
- Key Risk Domains: BSA/AML, OFAC screening, fraud and scam typologies, cybersecurity, model risk management, and liquidity controls for tokenized deposits.
- Operational Considerations: Network interoperability, settlement finality, and reconciliation between blockchain and core banking systems.
- Practical Controls: Policy updates, vendor due diligence, internal training, customer disclosures, and monitoring/reporting requirements.
