- USBC filed a comment letter backing the FDIC’s proposed rule to implement parts of the GENIUS Act on tokenized bank deposits.
- The submission supports a technology-neutral approach that treats tokenized deposits as deposits regardless of the recordkeeping system used.
- USBC urged the FDIC to allow a contractually designated third-party blockchain ledger, with continuous API access, to qualify as deposit account records for insurance determinations.
- The letter also argued smart contract features should not, by themselves, undermine a tokenized deposit’s status as an insured deposit.
- USBC said clearer rules would give banks more certainty to launch tokenized deposit products, potentially lifting tokenized deposit activity.
