Due Diligence on Stablecoin Partners

With the GENIUS Act now law and payment stablecoins entering banking operations, regulators expect institutions to apply the same vendor oversight rigor to stablecoin partners that they apply to any critical third party. This 60-minute session provides a practical, regulator-aligned framework for conducting due diligence on stablecoin service providers — from issuers and custodians to blockchain infrastructure providers and on-chain analytics firms. Built around the five-stage Interagency TPRM lifecycle, the presentation walks attendees through planning, due diligence, contract negotiation, ongoing monitoring, and termination with stablecoin-specific overlays at every stage. No prior blockchain expertise is required. The core thesis is straightforward: stablecoin risk is familiar risk in a new wrapper, and the framework your institution already uses is the right starting point.
