The FDIC Draws a Line: What Stablecoin Insurance Means for Switzerland
The U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has made its position crystal clear: stablecoins will not receive FDIC deposit insurance under the newly implemented GENIUS Act. But more importantly, they’ve also ruled out “pass-through insurance” — a potential loophole where banks might have obtained government protections on behalf of stablecoin customers. This isn’t just American regulatory theater. It’s a blueprint that Switzerland will almost certainly follow. The FDIC’s Hard Line FDIC Chairman Travis Hill announced at an American Bankers Association summit that payment stablecoins subject to the GENIUS Act are ineligible for pass-through insurance. His reasoning is straightforward: current pass-through rules require that “identities and interests of end-customers must be ascertainable in the regular course,” which he noted is “not a common feature of large stablecoin arrangements today.”
