FSOC relaxes its stance, no longer considers stablecoins as an imminent systemic risk

The US Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) stated in its 2025 annual report that the agency has relaxed its stance on cryptocurrency assets and stablecoins, no longer viewing them as an urgent systemic risk.

According to FSOC, the GENIUS Act, which took effect in July, established a federal legal framework for payment stablecoins, helping to increase transparency and regulatory clarity, while also supporting stablecoin innovation in the US.

This year’s report also removes previous warnings related to “run risk” (run risk) and market concentration. Notably, FSOC observed that most on-chain activities currently serve legitimate purposes rather than illicit finance.

This new approach indicates a significant shift in the US regulatory agency’s risk assessment of the cryptocurrency sector.
