Federal regulators have proposed rules to implement the act\, creating standards for AML compliance\, and reserve\, capital\, redemption\, and reporting requirements. Payment stablecoins are digital payment instruments whose value is pegged to the U.S. Dollar. Their issuance promises to revolutionize the payments industry\, both domestically and cross-border. Benefits can include facilitating peer-to-peer payments and money transmittal services at a faster\, less expensive basis than traditional payment methods. \nThe proposed Digital Asset Market Structure (Clarity) Act would establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for crypto\, splitting oversight between the SEC (securities) and CFTC (digital commodities). The OCC has enabled tokenized deposits by providing regulatory clarity that permits national banks to use distributed ledger technology (DLT) for payment activities\, hold stablecoin reserves\, and manage “gas” fees. \nJoin Nixon Peabody attorneys for a high-impact briefing designed to help business leaders stay ahead. You’ll gain: \n\nClarity on what the Genius Act\, the Clarity Act\, and forthcoming regulations mean for you\nGuidance on how to prepare for compliance and mitigate risk\nStrategies to leverage early-mover advantages in a rapidly evolving market\n\nAttendance is free as a NASCUS member benefit.

Vendors: Winning the Legal Battle Over Risk and Liability\nJoin Us on March 10\, 2025 from 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm\nNASCUS is pleased to present the next installment in our complimentary webinar series exclusively tailored for attorneys. \nThird-party vendors present some of the most significant risks to credit unions—yet their contracts often provide limited recourse when issues arise. \nThis session goes beyond standard vendor management guidance to deliver powerful legal strategies for reclaiming control. Attendees will uncover hidden contract pitfalls that quietly shift risk\, learn how to challenge restrictive terms like liability caps and explore underutilized legal avenues—including fraud\, gross negligence\, and trade secret misappropriation claims—to hold vendors accountable beyond the contract. \nWhether assessing vendor agreements or advising on risk mitigation\, this webinar will equip attorneys with the critical insights to identify hidden risks and deploy effective legal strategies. \nAttendance is free as a NASCUS member benefit. Registration is required.\nA virtual meeting link will be sent out ahead of the webinar.
