How Innovators Can Operationalize the GENIUS Act

On November 4, 2025, Mayer Brown fintech partner David Beam and financial regulatory partner Matt Bisanz participated in a PLI webinar on the legal and compliance guardrails that regulators and innovators will need to steer between as they operationalize the GENIUS Act.

The enactment of the GENIUS Act was a watershed moment for the digital assets sector as stablecoins became the first digital asset to have a comprehensive federal regulatory framework. Over the next 18 months, we will see a veritable alphabet soup of federal regulators implement the GENIUS Act through notice-and-comment rulemakings.

During that time, banks, fintechs, and other entrepreneurs will be building and expanding stablecoin businesses across the crypto ecosystem. They will need new policies, procedures, and processes to manage the risks of these businesses. Some will be mostly legal in nature, others accounting-focused, and still others that support effective and competitive workflows.
