STABLECOIN WATCH:

DOLLAR RAILS, NOT A RESET: TREASURY OPENS THE STATE GATE FOR PAYMENT STABLECOINS

What landed:

Treasury, acting for the Stablecoin Certification Review Committee, put interim forms and review procedures into force on 30 September 2026. States can use them to certify that their own payment-stablecoin rules are “substantially similar” to the federal standard under section 4(c) of the GENIUS Act.

That is a paperwork path for state-supervised issuers, mostly those under the $10 billion outstanding cap. It is not a U.S. central-bank digital currency, and it is not a revaluation of any foreign currency.

What changes on the calendar:

The statute itself is expected to take effect on 18 January 2027 — 18 months after enactment.

From that date, issuing a payment stablecoin in the United States generally requires a permitted issuer licence.

Certifications will not actually be accepted until Treasury posts a notice that the Paperwork Reduction Act clearance is done.

Why currency watchers should care:

Regulated dollar-linked tokens are being wired into ordinary payment plumbing: reserves, redemption rules and a dual federal–state licence path. That can widen how dollar value moves inside the U.S. and across borders.

It does not set a reset date, and it does not promise a foreign-currency revaluation.

The live story is licensed dollar payment rails being built in public. Follow the rulebook, not the countdown clocks.

Guardrail:
Nothing in this filing creates:
a CBDC,
a reset date,
or a foreign-currency revaluation.

Infrastructure only

So:

Treasury has switched on the state-certification desk for the GENIUS Act.

Interim forms for the Stablecoin Certification Review Committee took effect 30 Sept 2026, so states can show their payment-stablecoin rules match the federal standard.

The Act itself is expected to bind on 18 Jan 2027.

Dollar payment rails are being licensed.

This is not a CBDC and not a currency revaluation.
