FDIC Board approves BSA and AML/CFT compliance rule for PPSI deposit-like products
The FDIC Board approved a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking requiring all FDIC-supervised PPSIs to comply with Bank Secrecy Act, AML/CFT, and sanctions standards — formally treating stablecoin deposit-like products with the same compliance obligations as traditional bank deposits. Between 5 and 30 FDIC-supervised institutions are expected to seek PPSI approval in the first years after the GENIUS Act takes effect.

BIS FSI Paper No. 27: MCI earn products create deposit-like liabilities without prudential safeguards
The BIS Financial Stability Institute warned that major crypto platforms now operate more like banks than trading venues — with earn products that transfer ownership of customer assets creating short-term redeemable liabilities economically similar to deposits, while operating without the capital buffers, liquidity requirements, or deposit insurance that apply to regulated banks.

The most consequential structural risk in the MCI ecosystem is not counterparty risk, not market risk, and not liquidity risk in isolation — it is the combination of all three in a single unregulated product that regulators have finally given a name.
Earn products that transfer ownership of customer assets to the MCI create short-term redeemable liabilities economically similar to deposits — while margin loans and derivatives amplify credit and market risks simultaneously. Archyde
Celsius Network collapsed in 2022 after a $1.4 billion depositor run exposed maturity mismatches with no deposit insurance backstop — and only 11 of 28 jurisdictions reviewed by the FSB in 2025 had a finalized regulatory framework addressing financial stability risks from crypto intermediaries. U.S. Senate Committee on Banking
This is the regulatory gap that mcideposit.com/.eth addresses directly — the institutional namespace for the MCI deposit compliance infrastructure that the BIS, FDIC, and OCC are now simultaneously demanding from every platform that offers yield-bearing earn products to customers.
The Regulatory Foundation, The Deposit Architecture, and The Ecosystem
The BIS Financial Stability Institute focused its analysis on large crypto exchange conglomerates that it refers to as Multifunction Cryptoasset Intermediaries — with Binance, Bybit, Coinbase, Crypto.com, Kraken, MEXC and OKX provided as examples — outlining how several of these intermediaries provide bank-like activities such as maturity and credit transformation and proposing prudential requirements adapted to the specific details of each entity and its activities.

The BIS FSI Occasional Paper No. 27 (April 23, 2026) establishes the definitive regulatory framework: the authors call for prudential capital and liquidity requirements, governance standards, stress testing and consolidated supervision applied at the group level — recommending a combination of entity-based and activity-based regulation, noting that activity-based rules alone cannot address the funding and liquidity risks MCIs carry. U.S. Senate Committee on Banking
The FDIC GENIUS Act Proposed Rule (April 7, 2026) establishes deposit-equivalent reserve requirements for PPSIs — creating the federal standard that MCI deposit products must meet under the GENIUS Act framework.
The FDIC expects soon to propose prudential requirements — including tailored requirements related to reserve assets, capital, liquidity, and principles-based risk management requirements — for FDIC-supervised payment stablecoin issuers — directly establishing the deposit compliance standard that MCI earn products must now document. Coincu
The CLARITY Act Senate Markup (May 14, 2026) advances the broader market structure framework within which MCI deposit products must operate — establishing registration requirements and customer asset protection standards that govern every platform offering earn products with deposit-like characteristics.
The MCI Deposit Architecture
Most earn products reviewed by the BIS grant the platform full discretion over deposited assets, commingle them with other customer funds, and reserve the right to suspend redemptions without notice — while some platforms allow retail customers up to 150-to-1 margin on derivatives contracts. U.S. Senate Committee on Banking
This is the structural failure that institutionally compliant MCI deposit infrastructure must resolve.
Every MCI offering earn products must now demonstrate four things simultaneously: that customer assets are segregated, that redemption rights are guaranteed, that capital buffers meet BIS prudential standards, and that the deposit compliance framework is documented in a regulatory filing-grade format.
mcideposit.com is the institutional portal for this compliance infrastructure — the compliance identity, the MCI deposit brand, and the legal anchor for any MCI that must document its earn product framework under the BIS prudential standards and GENIUS Act requirements.
mcideposit.eth is the on-chain complement — an ENS-resolvable endpoint where MCI deposit attestations, earn product terms, redemption records, and prudential compliance documentation can be stored as immutable distributed ledger entries accessible to regulators and counterparties simultaneously.
The MCI Deposit Ecosystem
mcideposit is the earn product compliance core of the PillarsX Multifunction Cryptoasset Intermediary namespace. It connects directly to mcirisk.com/.eth — the risk management layer that governs MCI deposit operations and prevents the maturity mismatch that collapsed Celsius — and to mcicustody.com/.eth as the custody standard that ensures customer deposit assets are properly segregated.
Beyond the MCI cluster, mcideposit integrates with permissiblerewards.com/.eth as the CLARITY Act reward standard that defines which yield products are permissible, stablecoindisclosure.com/.eth as the disclosure regime that governs how MCI deposit-like products must be reported, and programmablecompliance.com/.eth as the automated compliance layer that enforces deposit terms at the smart contract layer.
Institutional crypto adoption depends on professional-grade plumbing: qualified custody, prime access to liquidity, reliable settlement rails, and automated compliance — these components turn blockchain assets into operational instruments that fit banking controls, audit requirements, and board-level risk frameworks. U.S. Senate Committee on Banking
mcideposit provides the institutional namespace for the most regulatorily consequential component of this plumbing — the deposit compliance layer that determines whether an MCI’s earn products are a protected financial product or an unregulated liability waiting to collapse.
