The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has released proposed guidance that could significantly shape how financial institutions interact with stablecoins and blockchain-based payment systems. But the most important part of the proposal may not be the rules themselves. It is the Request for Comment section.
April 13, 2026
2:30 pm - 4:00 pm EST
In this 90-minute session, Payments Professor Kevin Olsen will walk through the key questions the OCC is asking the financial industry and explain why those questions matter. These requests reveal where regulators are uncertain, where risk concerns still exist, and where financial institutions have the opportunity to influence the final regulatory framework.
Participants will gain an understanding of how the OCC is thinking about stablecoin activities including custody, settlement, liquidity management, operational risk, and third-party relationships. The session will also highlight how these questions intersect with the GENIUS Act framework, existing OCC interpretive guidance, and the evolving role of banks in digital asset payments.
Rather than simply reviewing regulatory text, this webinar translates the OCC’s questions into practical insights, from the Payments Professor, for banks and credit unions evaluating stablecoin strategies.
