The US Treasury's proposed GENIUS Act rules could require US exchanges like Coinbase to stop offering Tether's USDT stablecoin to American users starting January 18, 2027, unless Tether complies with US legal orders. This follows a similar move in Europe under the MiCA regulation, which led to USDT being delisted there. Tether has responded by creating a compliant US domestic stablecoin, USAT, while keeping USDT offshore. The rule is still a proposal with a comment period open, and final decisions could allow some foreign issuers to comply if their home regulations are deemed comparable to US standards.
