FinCEN Uses the FEND Off Fentanyl Act for First Time to Prohibit Funds Transfers with Three Mexican Financial Institutions

July 11, 2025

On June 25, 2025, FinCEN announced its first orders under the 2024 FEND Off Fentanyl Act, finding that three Mexican financial institutions—CIBanco S.A. Institución De Banca Multiple (“CIBanco"), Intercam Banco S.A., Institución de Banca Multiple (“Intercam”), and Vector Casa de Bolsa, S.A. de C.V (“Vector”) (collectively, the “Designated FIs”)—are of “primary money laundering concern in connection with illicit opioid trafficking.” Effective beginning September 4, 2025, U.S. financial institutions are prohibited from engaging in any transmittal of funds from or to the Designated FIs.

Making Way For Stablecoin—Genius Act Would Amend Bankruptcy Code to Accommodate Certain Crypto Assets

June 30, 2025

Congress rarely amends the Bankruptcy Code.  Congress first adopted the Bankruptcy Code in 1978.  After a series of amendments in the early 1980s to address initial concerns, Congress amended the Code only modestly until the significant amendments under BAPCPA in 2005.  Since 2006, amendments have remained rare with most amendments focused on updating deadlines, dollar-amount thresholds and other similar modest changes—before notably adding Subchapter V Small Business Cases to the Bankruptcy Code in 2020.

Are Payment Stablecoins Like Onions?

June 25, 2025

It is becoming increasingly likely that the “Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act of 2025’’ (the ‘‘GENIUS Act of 2025’’ or the “Act”) will become enacted and signed into law by the President in the summer of 2025.  As the contours of the regulatory regime for payment stablecoins (“PSCs”) in the United States (“U.S.”) take shape, a number of areas of uncertainty remain with how the Act will be implemented; what effect it will have on existing and future markets; and specifically what the future holds for “contracts for future delivery” on PSCs (i.e., futures contracts).
