Agenda

Sep 15, 2026
3:00 pm - 4:00 pm EST

Stablecoins have moved from the crypto fringe to the center of the U.S. payments conversation. With more than $300 billion now in circulation and the GENIUS Act of 2025 establishing the first federal framework for payment stablecoins, financial institutions can no longer treat this as someone else’s issue. The OCC, FDIC, NCUA, and Federal Reserve are finalizing the rules that will govern who can issue, custody, and transact in stablecoins, with key provisions phasing in through 2027.

This session will translate that fast-moving landscape into the language of the boardroom. Learn what stablecoins are, what the law now requires, and the risks and opportunities that belong on the board’s agenda, from reserve and liquidity risk and deposit disintermediation to new revenue and payment-efficiency opportunities. Designed for directors, CEOs, and senior leaders, it will focus less on the technology and more on the strategic, governance, and oversight questions every financial institution should be prepared to answer.

Topics

KEY WEBINAR TAKEAWAYS:

• A plain-English understanding of what payment stablecoins are, how the GENIUS Act of 2025 regulates them, and where the OCC, FDIC, NCUA, and Federal Reserve rulemakings stand heading into 2027
• A clear view of the risks the board must oversee: reserve and liquidity risk, deposit disintermediation, BSA/AML and sanctions exposure, third-party and operational/cyber risk, and reputation
• The strategic options in front of senior management: issuance through a subsidiary, custody, tokenized deposits, and faster payments
• A practical set of questions every director and executive should be asking management now, plus a simple governance framework for evaluating any stablecoin initiative
