The GENIUS Act marks a watershed moment in American finance, further cementing the United States as the crypto capital of the world. Just as President Abraham Lincoln’s National Currency Act of 1863 established a national framework for bank-issued currency, the GENIUS Act establishes a federal framework for payment stablecoins in the digital age.
The @USOCC's final rule carries that landmark legislation forward, providing a clear, practical foundation for private-sector innovation, competition, and American leadership in digital assets.

At the @USOCC, we have worked diligently and expeditiously to deliver the GENIUS Act final rule ahead of schedule to support President Trump's vision and @SecScottBessent's leadership to grow the economy and lead the global digital currency revolution.
Today marks the birth of a new industry having a federal framework for payment stablecoins in the digital age. It also brings us back to our original mission when the OCC was charged with the responsibility for organizing and administering a system of nationally chartered banks and a uniform national currency.
.@USComptroller Jonathan V. Gould: Today’s final rule advances @POTUS Trump’s and @SecScottBessent’s vision for American leadership in digital assets. We are providing a clear, practical framework for payment stablecoin innovation, with strong standards for reserve backing, redemption, and risk management. The OCC is drawing on its longstanding supervisory expertise to support responsible growth and innovation for this new industry. occ.gov/news-issuances/news-…

Comptroller of the Currency Jonathan V. Gould discussed @USOCC’s newly-released report on large banks’ debanking activities during a press conference in Lexington, Ky., hosted by U.S. Congressman @RepAndyBarr. The Comptroller was joined by Sam McKown of @KentuckyCoal, @Barrett_Block, representatives of the coal and firearms industries, and advocate for debanking victims @ADFLegal. Read the @USComptroller’s remarks on debanking in the coal and firearms industries and efforts to guarantee fair banking access to all Americans under the leadership of @POTUS and @SecScottBessent. occ.gov/news-issuances/news-…
The OCC’s supervisory review of debanking activities at the nine largest national banks it supervises found that these banks had policies that required, encouraged, or otherwise influenced banks to deny or limit access to financial services to Americans because of their political or religious beliefs or affiliations or their lawful business activities.

.@USComptroller Jonathan V. Gould: @POTUS and @SecScottBessent are leading a community bank comeback by unleashing Parallel Prosperity for Main Street and Wall Street. We are cutting unnecessary regulatory friction, tailoring supervision to actual risk, and strengthening community banks’ ability to grow and continue to meet the needs of the customers and small businesses they serve.
Under @POTUS and @SecScottBessent’s leadership, the @USTreasury’s Do Not Pay program has prevented fraud and stopped improper payments totaling $175 million. There is no tolerance for waste, fraud, and abuse and this critical tool better protects taxpayer dollars. The OCC supports this effort and is delivering concrete tools and resources to strengthen fraud reporting for our community bankers.

.@USComptroller Jonathan V. Gould: Cracking down on fraud has been a top priority of the Trump Administration from day one.

.@USComptroller: @SecScottBessent has made clear that @USTreasury always follows the money, and criminals who seek to exploit the U.S. financial system or prey on American families and taxpayers will suffer severe consequences. In January, Treasury announced numerous actions to thwart fraud and illicit finance in Minnesota’s Twin Cities, including launching ongoing investigations and a geographic targeting order. Additionally, Treasury’s Do Not Pay program has seen tremendous success in record time. This critical tool to prevent fraud and improper payments to better protect taxpayer dollars has seen a twentyfold increase in the last fiscal year alone. The Trump Administration has made clear there is no tolerance for waste, fraud, and abuse – and @USOCC is proud to support this whole-of-government effort.

Under the leadership of @POTUS, @VP and @SecScottBessent, the Trump Administration is committed to stopping those who seek to exploit the U.S. financial system or prey on hardworking American families and taxpayers. Our community bankers are on the frontlines of this effort combatting fraud, and we were pleased to hear directly from them yesterday at a roundtable in Minneapolis.
Between 2020 and 2024, filings of suspicious activity reports related to check fraud increased nearly 300% in Minnesota. In support of the Trump Administration’s priority to eliminate fraud and protect Americans from illicit activity, Comptroller Jonathan V. Gould convened a panel of local community bankers in Minneapolis to discuss recent financial fraud in Minnesota, the role of banks to identify and combat fraud, and the OCC’s commitment to support banks in their efforts to protect their customers. occ.gov/news-issuances/news-…

Financial literacy fuels the American Dream and helps unlock financial freedom. The new National Strategy for Financial Literacy puts a clear focus on helping Americans save, invest, navigate digital finance, and protect themselves against scams and fraud. At @USOCC, we are proud to be a part of this effort to equip Americans with the knowledge to take control of their financial futures and participate in the world’s greatest economy.
The newest United States National Strategy for Financial Literacy is a roadmap to help every American build the knowledge and skills needed to achieve financial security for themselves and their families.
The advent of Trump Accounts demonstrates what this approach looks like in practice. By giving young Americans and their families an opportunity to save and invest together, we can make financial education tangible, help a new generation establish sound financial habits from an early age, and build the knowledge and confidence to participate in our financial markets.

Without the American military, there would be no national banking system to keep safe, sound, and prosperous. The men and women who serve our country, and the families who stand behind them, deserve access to financial institutions that understand their unique circumstances.
It was an honor to address this year’s Military Banking Summit and discuss @USOCC’s actions to reduce regulatory burden and tailor supervision for community banks, including military banks. We are proud that veterans and active-duty servicemen account for around 10% of our workforce here at the OCC, and we are grateful to all who serve or have served the United States, safeguarding our freedoms and way of life.
