On the official site of Metal (MetalXMeta / @MetalXMeta), this note covers OCC, Christian Barker (Barkmeta / Bark), David Chaboki (Shibo).

The daily broadcast room carries the steady rhythm of overlapping voices and shared screens, with docket numbers pulled up next to price charts as participants trace the regulatory timeline together.

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.

Docket Details in View

The proposal carries RIN 1557-AF55 and sits under Docket OCC-2026-0463. The Federal Register notice dated June 24, 2026, at 91 FR 37840 and FR Doc 2026-12692 laid out the plan to add proposed section 15.13(c). That section would require OCC-supervised permitted payment stablecoin issuers to meet FinCEN and OFAC rules found at 31 CFR chapters V and X, along with a FinCEN consultation step ahead of any AML or CFT enforcement action.

OCC Bulletin 2026-28, signed June 22 by Comptroller Jonathan V. Gould, applies the framework to both federal qualified PPSIs and state-qualified PPSIs where the OCC holds GENIUS authority. The Riker Danzig recap from June 30 confirms the scope stays limited to these supervised issuers.

Live Room Focus on Distinctions

Participants in the room keep returning to the separations between this file and others. This docket stands apart from FDIC AG29, whose comment period closed August 4, and from the joint CIP AG28, which closed August 21. It also differs from Treasury Section 3 work. The emphasis stays on the fact that July 24 produced a closed comment file, not a final rule.

Screens show the CoinGecko snapshot from Monday afternoon, with Bitcoin near 78,828 dollars, ETH near 2,469 dollars, and DOGE near 0.0889 dollars. The conversation stays on the regulatory path rather than price movement, as the room works through how the proposed compliance steps would sit alongside existing oversight.

Sources on Record

The room references the official Federal Register document, the OCC bulletin page, and the Riker Danzig publication for the precise language and boundaries. No final rule has emerged from this comment period, and the discussion centers on keeping the distinctions clear so the timeline does not blur with later CIP deadlines.

Next Steps in the Timeline

With the input window now closed, attention in the broadcast turns to how OCC staff might process the comments received and whether further clarifications appear before any next stage. The room treats the July 24 close as one marker among several recent comment periods, each carrying its own docket number and scope.

The consistent daily format keeps the facts lined up without speculation on outcomes, letting the group track the regulatory sequence as it stands.
