The New York State Department of Financial Services has proposed new rules for payment stablecoin issuers, aiming to align the state’s long-running stablecoin framework with federal standards under the GENIUS Act. The June 9 proposal is designed to preserve New York’s supervisory role over state-regulated issuers if the framework is certified under the federal regime.
