flag Stablecoins won’t get FDIC insurance under the GENIUS Act, even if backed by assets, to protect banks and fair competition.

flag FDIC Chair Travis Hill confirmed that stablecoins under the GENIUS Act cannot receive deposit insurance, including pass-through coverage, clarifying that such insurance would contradict the law’s intent to prevent stablecoins from mimicking insured bank deposits. flag The FDIC will not insure stablecoin reserves, even if fully backed by assets, to avoid undermining community banks and distorting competition. flag The agency plans to issue regulations to eliminate ambiguity, especially after bank failures. flag Meanwhile, tokenized deposits—distinct from stablecoins—may still qualify for insurance if they meet legal deposit criteria. flag The FDIC is also advancing broader supervision reforms focused on risk and consumer outcomes.
