Ira Auerbach, head of Offchain Labs subsidiary Tandem and former Nasdaq digital assets head, stated that the U.S. is likely to solidify the GENIUS Act regulatory framework by 2026. This development is expected to incentivize stablecoin issuers, who previously relied on offshore compliance systems, to relocate their reserves and operations back to the U.S. Auerbach also revealed that some pension fund providers are preparing to test target date and balanced funds with a 0.5% to 1% allocation in crypto assets. This move suggests that cryptocurrencies may gradually become a structural component of long-term asset allocation, rather than merely a tool for speculative trading.
