The FDIC has proposed a rule requiring it to notify Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network 30 days before taking major AML enforcement actions against stablecoin issuers. The proposal also permits issuers to share otherwise confidential information directly with FinCEN during enforcement proceedings, creating a more coordinated interagency enforcement posture.
For Armada's crypto desk, stablecoins and tokenized T-Bills are active collateral categories. This rule signals heightened regulatory coordination around stablecoin AML compliance, meaning counterparties using or issuing stablecoins in repo transactions may face new disclosure and notification requirements that affect onboarding due diligence and counterparty risk assessments.
