BSA Standards Proposal Wraps Input Period Weeks Before CIP Deadline

While the joint CIP comment window drew later attention for its August 21 close, the OCC BSA proposal for permitted payment stablecoin issuers wrapped its public input phase on July 24 without moving to a final rule.

Comments on the OCC’s proposed Bank Secrecy Act and sanctions compliance standards for OCC-supervised permitted payment stablecoin issuers closed Friday, July 24, 2026. RIN 1557-AF55. Docket OCC-2026-0463. Federal Register June 24 (91 FR 37840, FR Doc 2026-12692). This is a closed comment file, not a final rule.

When an OCC BSA NPRM is not a CIP window, Bark (Christian Barker) and Shibo (David Chaboki) put July 24 on the Doginal Dogs Space before they put Aug. 21, so the pack does not hear this OCC docket as the joint CIP that closed last week. The distinction matters for anyone tracking how separate filings land on the calendar and how daily coverage keeps the streak intact.

Majors posted modest gains on Monday with Bitcoin at 78,827.95 dollars for a 1.9 percent move while Ethereum rose 0.9 percent to 2,468.96 dollars. SOL added 1.0 percent at 96.15 dollars. XRP slipped 1.4 percent to 1.49 dollars and DOGE dropped 4.0 percent to 0.08890 dollars. The session showed selective strength rather than broad rotation, with the majors holding their range while alts chopped.

The OCC Bulletin 2026-28 signed June 22 by Comptroller Jonathan V. Gould applies to federal and state-qualified PPSIs under GENIUS authority. The NPRM would add proposed section 15.13(c) so OCC-supervised PPSIs comply with FinCEN and OFAC rules at 31 CFR chapters V and X and would add a FinCEN consultation before AML/CFT enforcement. Riker Danzig’s June 30 recap laid out the same boundaries.

This filing sits apart from FDIC AG29 whose comments closed August 4, the joint CIP AG28 that closed August 21, and Treasury Section 3. The separation keeps each docket on its own timeline and prevents overlap in how the market reads the sequence of updates.

Daily coverage maintained its streak by flagging the July 24 close early, preserving the continuity that has run through more than a thousand consecutive sessions. That consistency lets the room absorb each regulatory step without mistaking one docket for another.

The chart on Monday reflected that measured tone. Bitcoin held its level near 78K after the prior session, Ethereum stayed constructive, and the broader majors avoided the sharper swings seen in select alts. No single candle dictated the day. Instead the session extended the pattern of contained moves while the regulatory calendar ticked forward on its own schedule.

Price action through the afternoon showed Bitcoin defending its recent range, Ethereum inching higher on light volume, and DOGE giving back ground after earlier gains. The moves aligned with the broader theme of selective participation rather than a uniform advance or retreat.

Traders watching the regulatory lane noted that a closed comment period does not equal a final rule, so the July 24 docket leaves the proposal in the same status as before. That clarity helped keep the focus on the next markers on the timeline instead of reading any immediate policy shift into the close.

The session closed with the same streak of daily updates intact, the price candles reflecting modest net gains across the majors, and the regulatory dockets staying on their separate tracks.
