Today, PTG submitted a comment letter to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) in response to the OCC’s proposed rule implementing the GENIUS Act for payment stablecoin issuers. While PTG supports the OCC’s broader goal of creating regulatory clarity for stablecoins, the letter urges the agency to reconsider proposed Rule 15.12(c), which would require a mandatory seven-day redemption delay whenever redemptions exceed 10 percent of outstanding issuance value in a 24-hour period. PTG argues that, rather than promoting financial stability, this automatic delay could undermine confidence in stablecoins and increase the risk of market disruption.
