[OCC urges regional banks to enter stablecoin payments market]

The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has urged regional banks to enter the digital payments market by issuing stablecoins, CoinDesk reported. Under the GENIUS Act, the OCC said regional banks can apply directly for licenses to issue dollar-pegged stablecoins or apply through subsidiaries.

The agency is encouraging smaller lenders to enter the stablecoin payments market rather than leaving it to large banks or crypto companies. The OCC recently finalized rules to implement the GENIUS Act, with the measures set to take effect on Jan. 18, 2027. From that date, stablecoin issuers must comply with the final rules set by the OCC, although existing issuers with substantially completed license applications can seek temporary exemptions.

[Dutch crypto industry warns wealth tax overhaul may spur investor selling]

The Dutch cryptocurrency industry raised concerns that the government’s proposed wealth tax overhaul could lead investors to sell crypto assets, Crypto Briefing reported. Under the current tax code, cryptocurrencies are classified as other assets and taxed based on assumed returns rather than actual gains. The proposed revision could include taxing annual real returns, including unrealized gains, drawing stronger pushback from the industry. Industry officials warned the approach could intensify crypto selling and accelerate an investor exodus if adopted.

[Canada proposes ban on interest payments for stablecoin holders]

Canada has released a draft regulatory framework for stablecoin issuers that would bar interest payments on holdings and require full reserves and redemption rights, Decrypt reported. The measures are targeted for implementation in fall 2027.

Under the draft, issuers would be required to maintain reserves equal in value to stablecoins in circulation. Eligible reserves would be limited to cash, government debt including Treasury bills with maturities of three months or less, and money market funds that hold only those assets.

The reserves would have to be kept in segregated accounts at custodians in Canada so they would not be subject to creditor claims if an issuer goes bankrupt. Users would be entitled to redemption within three business days after making a request, and redemption fees could not exceed 1%.

Issuers would be barred from paying interest simply for holding the coins, while indirect yield payments through third parties would also be prohibited. Rewards tied to actual use of the coins, rather than passive holding, could be permitted.

The draft also would prohibit issuers from presenting stablecoins as bank deposits or claiming they are covered by deposit insurance or government guarantees. The Bank of Canada would register and supervise issuers, and violations could draw fines of as much as CAD10 million ($7.2 million), depending on the severity of the case.

[CFTC to launch talks on AI trading oversight with crypto industry participants]

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission is starting discussions on how to respond to the spread of AI trading, Crypto in America reported. The CFTC’s innovation task force plans to hold its first Frontier Forum on Super Intelligence on Wednesday, local time, to discuss the impact of advanced AI on U.S. financial markets and regulatory challenges in overseeing autonomous AI trading.

CFTC Chairman Michael Selig will open the forum, with representatives from Tempo, Hedera and Chainlink set to attend from the crypto industry. The discussions come as autonomous payments by AI agents using blockchain and stablecoins emerge as a new use case.

Meanwhile, the crypto industry is asking the U.S. SEC to clarify crypto-related rules as the CLARITY Act has made no legislative progress in Congress. In comment letters on the SEC’s proposed "Regulation Crypto Assets," industry participants requested clear standards on when a token ceases to be linked to an investment contract, how secondary-market trading should be treated, and whether network upgrades and token buybacks trigger securities-law obligations.

Coinbase called for higher fundraising limits through token issuance and clearer rules on airdrops and network rewards. Law firm Cahill Gordon & Reindel argued the current proposal alone makes it difficult for secondary-market participants to determine whether regulations apply and said an additional safe harbor is needed.
