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.”
