The Federal Reserve’s proposed rules would give supervised payment stablecoin issuers 24 hours to report a reserve shortfall and submit a recovery plan. If the gap remains, they must begin liquidating reserves and redeeming tokens by 5 p.m. the next business day—often within 48 hours. The proposal also allows minting during the rescue window, to avoid signaling distress on public blockchains.

The Federal Reserve’s proposed framework would tie a payment stablecoin issuer’s baseline operational-risk capital charge directly to coins outstanding. A hypothetical supervised issuer with $1 billion in circulation and no non-reserve revenue would face a $20 million baseline charge, while also needing reserves equal to the coins’ par value. The OCC has proposed a different, business-specific approach.

Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump agreed during Xi’s visit to the United States to support each other in successfully hosting the informal APEC leaders’ meeting and G20 summits. Both leaders said they intended to attend events organized by the other side, Xinhua reported.
A White House fact sheet says Donald Trump advocated trilateral arms control negotiations among the United States, Russia and China while hosting Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington. The leaders also discussed global concerns involving Russia, North Korea and Iran, agreeing that Iran must never obtain a nuclear weapon and that no country or institution may impose tolls on international waterways.
Chinese President Xi Jinping returned to Beijing on Saturday afternoon after completing his state visit to the United States. His entourage, including Peng Liyuan, Cai Qi, Wang Yi and He Lifeng, traveled back on the same flight.
The summit’s scale and glitter might suggest that US-China relations are thriving. But diplomacy without substance can also signal grave danger, as the history of the 1930s demonstrates.
The Washington summit was marked by elaborate pageantry and a panda announcement, but produced few concrete outcomes.
Chinese leader Xi Jinping has concluded a three-day visit to the United States that included tea at the White House and a tour of the National Archives. CNN’s Alayna Treene breaks down his visit with President Trump.
Chinese President Xi Jinping concluded his state visit to the United States on Friday. Senior U.S. officials saw him off at the airport in Washington, where a 21-gun salute was fired. The visit began Wednesday and was his first state visit to the U.S. in 11 years.
Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump agreed during a White House tea chat to build a constructive relationship of strategic stability grounded in respect, fairness and reciprocity. They also cited mutually beneficial economic and trade outcomes and pledged to guide bilateral ties together.
As Chinese President Xi Jinping and Donald Trump meet at the White House, nearby economists are assessing tariffs, trade imbalances and the wider economic relationship between the two largest economies, while considering possible ways forward for both countries and the global economy.
With nearly 130 world leaders gathered at the UN, international organizations and business leaders are watching the Xi-Trump meeting closely. They hope U.S.-China cooperation can help tackle global security concerns, supply chain disruptions, artificial intelligence and climate change.
