Elliptic policy executive Joe Bognanno discussed GENIUS Act compliance at Momentum 2026, as the law’s Jan. 18, 2027, qualification date for U.S. payment stablecoin issuers approaches.

Starting Jan. 18, 2027, payment stablecoin issuers operating in the United States generally must qualify as permitted issuers. The GENIUS Act was signed into law July 18, 2025.

The law’s Bank Secrecy Act, anti-money laundering and sanctions requirements are to be addressed in separate rulemaking with the Treasury Department.
