We @Consensys filed a comment letter with the @USOCC today on its GENIUS Act rulemaking focusing on issuers. We support the framework overall but flagged three places where the proposed rule could be tightened up to comport with what the statute authorizes and sound pro-innovation policy. The GENIUS Act prohibits issuers from paying yield to holders, but the OCC extends this by regulation to independent distribution partners.  This is conduct Congress specifically declined to prohibit when it rejected amendments that would have done so. A distributor spending its own commercial revenues to offer user incentives is not a conduit for the issuer to pay yield from reserves, and the rule should reflect that distinction. When a wallet user deposits a stablecoin into a DeFi lending protocol, the yield they earn comes from borrowers in that market, not from the stablecoin issuer. The GENIUS Act itself carves non-custodial software interfaces out of regulated intermediary status, and the final rule should confirm that facilitating user access to DeFi protocols does not make a wallet provider a "related third party" paying yield on the issuer's behalf. The OCC's concern about multi-brand stablecoin issuance is an information problem with an information solution. Requiring disclosure of issuer identity and reserve pool structure addresses the concern directly, and pool segregation is available as a structural complement if disclosure alone proves insufficient. But OCC”s proposal to prohibit multi-brand issuance ends up foreclosing a distribution model the market has already demonstrated works and puts OCC-supervised issuers at a disadvantage relative to FDIC-supervised issuers who face no equivalent restriction.

The M0 team is heading to @consensus2026 next week. 🌴 Building or exploring stablecoins? Connect with our team to learn more about how M0's modular stablecoin infrastructure lets you launch configurable stablecoins.

Tune in: youtube.com/watch?v=5btCxH…

Builders deserve a choice in who issues their stablecoin - and the freedom to become their own issuer one day. That's only possible on an open stablecoin platform. There are a lot of brands that don't want to be beholden to any single service provider. That freedom is what M0 is building. Modular stablecoin infrastructure. W/ @reginatto @range_org @Paulapbpb

@mdudas Ai is finding all the bugs and grieving mechanisms in all code… defi is being way harden by this.. in 2 years it will be ready for Wall Street to be on it normally

brutal month for defi, particularly the last week of april

I've spent the last few years diving into and covering @m0. We did a season of Stableminded with them. Had @reginatto on Stabledash Live a few times. Even after all that, it didn't fully click for me what role M0 actually plays until our Stableminded interview with @LucaProsperi and @g_dip. This is the analogy that stuck with me: "I think another useful analogy here is any other physical business where a retailer buys from a wholesaler. They don't manufacture from vertically down." "When you go to the store and you buy something, you're not buying something where the store you're in interfaces directly with manufacturers. They deal with wholesalers." "We are the wholesale agent in this equation. We interface with the manufacturers. These are the issuers that are upstream. We manage it for the end customer and then we sell down to the retailer who is the one managing the end use cases."

.@Anchorage already issues stablecoins. So why @m0? @LucaProsperi opens with the upstream and downstream of money. Issuers like Anchorage are upstream. Use cases are downstream. @g_dip jumps in with the wholesale analogy. M0 is the middleware. x.com/Anchorage/stat…

Rob walks through the M0 and Anchorage Digital partnership as one of the more important institutional category picks of 2026. Anchorage Digital is the first federally chartered bank in the US, which means every partnership decision they make doubles as a regulatory signal for the rest of the institutional landscape. They just partnered with M0 to power regulated stablecoin issuance for the institutions custodying capital with them.

Federally chartered crypto bank @Anchorage and @m0 are partnering to make it easier for companies to launch compliant stablecoins in the U.S. Full story: thedefiant.io/news/tradfi-an…

.@Anchorage has partnered with @m0 to power stablecoin issuance using M0's modular issuance infrastructure @reginatto breaks down the stack and the roles of issuers as the regulated entity vs M0 as the software for managing stablecoin's. x.com/m0/status/2049…

LATEST: @Anchorage Digital partners with @M0 to power stablecoin issuance for institutions, as the U.S.'s first federally chartered crypto bank expands its platform ahead of the GENIUS Act.

When infrastructure meets infrastructure, the possibilities are endless. from anchorage.com/insights/ancho…: "M0 provides the infrastructure for stablecoin design, interoperability, and integration Anchorage Digital provides the regulated infrastructure for issuance, custody, and reserve management"

Partnering with M Zero to accelerate the inevitable, migration of dollars to blockchain rails. We are empowering stablecoin builders with a high performance stack: - @Anchorage Digital federally regulated issuance, and - @m0 smart contract modular infrastructure. Trillions 🚀 --with the great team of @LucaProsperi and @reginatto

The next few months will be insane for the @m0 team. We have reinforcements coming to the growth team. Absolute killers. Multiple partnerships that are going to be massive. Can’t wait for the announcements. Product & engineering team cooking… The best has yet to come 🥂🖤

The Saturn team is absolutely crushing it! Love working with them and we are blessed to have them in the @m0 ecosystem

Trade the future. MU, ARM, AMD, NVDA at all time highs. Go long or short on Ostium.
