# OCC Implements Stablecoin Framework

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is implementing the GENIUS Act (Public Law 119-27), signed July 18, 2025, which establishes a federal regulatory framework for permitted payment stablecoin issuers. The OCC is not yet accepting issuer applications or waiver requests; it will begin doing so after the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approves the related information collection. The signal identifies no procurement funding, contract awards, solicitations, or specific contractor requirements, so there is no active acquisition opportunity identified at this stage.

- Contractors serving financial regulators or stablecoin issuers can assess whether their regulatory technology and compliance-support capabilities may be relevant to future implementation needs.
- The OCC’s application process depends on OMB approval of the information collection; that approval is the specific next step identified in the signal.
- Companies should distinguish this regulatory development from a current procurement: the signal provides no contract vehicle, solicitation, funding amount, or bid deadline.
