The Blockchain Association filed comments on Treasury's proposed rule implementing Section 3 of the GENIUS Act, which governs who may issue, offer, and sell payment stablecoins in the U.S. While applauding Treasury's efforts, it raised several concerns: "digital asset service provider" should exclude self-custody software, validators, and firms trading their own assets; criminal liability for "knowingly participating" should require actual knowledge and substantial assistance; exchanges should rely on Congress's public lists of registered foreign issuers; and location rules should use actual knowledge for permissionless protocols. It also urged revisiting cost estimates and aligning effective dates.
