Resumo

The FDIC has announced a new framework allowing banks to apply for issuing payment stablecoins through subsidiaries under the GENIUS Act. Acting Chair Travis Hill stated the process is designed to ensure the safety and soundness of bank applications. Banks must submit detailed proposals, including descriptions of the stablecoin, subsidiary activities, financial information, ownership structure, and customer policies. The FDIC will notify applicants within 30 days if an application is substantially complete and must decide on approval within 120 days thereafter. This is the first step in implementing the stablecoin law, with further proposals on management standards and digital asset regulations expected.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has announced a new framework that outlines how banks can apply to issue payment stablecoins through subsidiaries as part of the implementation of the country’s stablecoin bill, the GENIUS Act.

FDIC’s First Move On GENIUS Act

In a statement, Acting Chair Travis Hill emphasized that the proposed process is tailored to allow the FDIC to thoroughly evaluate the safety and soundness of applications from banks seeking to enter the stablecoin market.

According to a summary from FDIC staff, banks wishing to issue payment stablecoins will need to submit detailed applications outlining various aspects of their proposed activities.

Each application must include a description of the intended payment stablecoin, along with a comprehensive overview of the subsidiary’s activities.

Additionally, institutions must provide financial information, details regarding the ownership and control structure of the subsidiary, and pertinent policies related to customer agreements, including provisions for custody. Applicants will need to submit an engagement letter from a registered public accounting firm.

30-Day Review Period For Stablecoin Applications

The FDIC aims to promptly review submissions, notifying stablecoin applicants within 30 days whether their application has been deemed substantially complete. Following that, the agency must make a decision on approval within 120 days from the time the application reaches this status.

“This proposed rule is the FDIC’s first action to implement the GENIUS Act,” stated Acting Chairman Travis Hill. He added that in the coming months, the agency plans to introduce proposals to establish the required management standards for subsidiaries of FDIC-supervised institutions that are approved to issue payment stablecoins.

The FDIC is also committed to providing comprehensive regulatory clarity regarding activities associated with digital assets and tokenized deposits. The plan will undergo a public consultation period before it can be finalized.

Wall Street Rushes into Ethereum, but Has It Become a Castoff for Investors?

Wall Street Embraces Ethereum, But Investors Remain Wary Ethereum is gaining significant institutional adoption from major financial firms like JPMorgan Chase, Robinhood, and Morgan Stanley, which are launching products and building on the network. A new non-profit, Ethereum Institutional, has also been formed to accelerate enterprise use. Technically, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has unveiled a major multi-year upgrade plan called "Lean Ethereum," aiming to enhance privacy, security, and quantum resistance. Despite these positive fundamentals, the market reaction has been negative. ETH's price remains around $1,900, down over 60% from its all-time high. Analysts cite weak investor demand and persistent outflows from spot Ethereum ETFs. Citi has downgraded its 12-month price target to $2,240. A key challenge is the decoupling of network activity from ETH's value accrual. While Layer 2 scaling solutions have successfully reduced costs and increased throughput, most transactions now occur off the mainchain. This reduces the fee revenue and ETH burn on Ethereum itself, benefiting users but creating uncertainty for ETH holders. Price predictions are highly divergent, ranging from Citi's conservative $2,000+ outlook to StanChart's $4,000 by 2026 and even a long-term $25,000 forecast from Tom Lee. The consensus is that while Ethereum is increasingly likely to become core financial infrastructure, the extent to which ETH token holders will benefit remains unclear.

Major Banks Implement Tokenization in Cross-Border Transfers

Major global banks, including JPMorgan, Citi, and UBS, participated in a pilot project called Agorá, led by the Bank for International Settlements, to test tokenized cross-border payments. The initiative involved five central banks and 28 commercial institutions. The pilot processed approximately $1 million across six currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CHF, KRW) using tokenized central bank reserves and commercial bank deposits. A key advantage was processing speed, with payments settling in around 80 seconds on average. The use of a shared ledger provided a single record of ownership and payment status. Another benefit was the ability to perform simultaneous currency clearing, allowing banks to exchange currencies instantly without waiting for separate settlement on each side of the transaction. This reduces risks, lowers costs, and increases transparency. The project operates alongside existing payment systems and does not replace them.

Central Bank Gold Purchases Increased by 62% to 288.9 Tons in the Second Quarter

Institutional investors significantly increased gold purchases in Q2 2026, achieving a quarterly record. According to the World Gold Council (WGC), central bank net buying surged to 288.9 tons, a 62% rise from Q2 2025 (177.9 tons). This represents a sharp recovery from the revised net accumulation of just 57 tons in Q1. The recovery was driven by increased buying from Poland's National Bank and the People's Bank of China, coupled with reduced selling from Turkey and Russia. The National Bank of Poland was the largest buyer in Q2, purchasing 51 tons to progress toward its 700-ton national reserve target. The People's Bank of China made its largest purchases since Q4 2023, raising its official reserves to 2,346 tons, with reports suggesting additional undeclared accumulation. Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Jordan, and the Czech Republic also contributed to the demand. Conversely, the Bank of Russia was the largest seller in Q2 at 22 tons, reportedly to cover a federal budget deficit, while Turkey slowed its selling pace. Despite the strong Q2, total central bank demand for 2026 fell to a low of 345 tons due to significant sales from Turkey, Russia, and Azerbaijan earlier in the year. A WGC survey indicates continued momentum, with 89% of central bank respondents expecting to increase gold reserves over the next 12 months.
