Federal regulators failed to meet the one-year deadline for completing the GENIUS Act stablecoin framework, according to reporting from The Block, leaving an abbreviated window before the January 18, 2027 implementation date takes effect. The delayed rulemaking compresses the timeline for issuers and regulators to finalize compliance requirements around reserve composition, redemption guarantees, and licensing standards that the framework mandates.
