GLUSD Partner inquiry

Moving value.

Read the mission ↓

GLUSD is conceived as the payment layer of a wider digital financial and AI commerce system—designed around utility, transparent controls, and real economic activity.

The mission

Become a certified stablecoin issuer. Issue GLUSD.

GreatLove Stablecoin Bank aims to become a certified U.S. issuer of payment stablecoins—formally, a permitted payment stablecoin issuer, or PPSI—and, after receiving the required approvals, issue GLUSD.

Current status: GreatLove Stablecoin Bank does not currently hold a Wyoming SPDI charter or authorization to issue a U.S. payment stablecoin.

Compliance foundation

GreatLove intends to build AML, KYC, sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, reserve controls, independent auditing, cybersecurity, regulatory reporting, and robust financial infrastructure into the institution from the beginning, fulfilling the legal, operational, technical, and supervisory requirements of its selected pathway before GLUSD is issued.

Building the institution before issuing the currency

GreatLove is evaluating the most suitable institutional structure and has not made a final route selection. A Wyoming Special Purpose Depository Institution charter remains one option for creating a fully reserved banking foundation for custody, asset servicing, payments, settlement, governance, capital, reserve management, compliance, and technology.

A Wyoming SPDI charter would not, by itself, authorize GreatLove to issue GLUSD or make the chartered bank a permitted payment stablecoin issuer. Stablecoin issuance requires separate approval under the applicable federal or certified state pathway. GreatLove's objective is therefore sequential: build the regulated institution and its control environment, obtain issuer-specific PPSI approval, and only then issue and redeem GLUSD.

Choosing between the federal and state routes

GreatLove may apply directly to the OCC or pursue approval through a qualified state regime. The $10 billion threshold is not a minimum capital requirement: it refers to the face value of payment stablecoins outstanding. Final decisions will be made in the coming months as final regulations, application procedures, state certifications, capital expectations, and operating requirements become clearer.

Federal route / OCC

Apply directly at any starting size

A U.S. company may seek approval as a federal qualified payment stablecoin issuer without first obtaining a state stablecoin approval. The federal route is designed around one primary federal supervisor and nationwide payment-stablecoin activity.

Current status
The application system is still being finalized; preparation and pre-application engagement can proceed now.
Rule milestone
The OCC has publicly stated that it expects its final implementing rule by November 2026.
Decision clock
The regulator has 30 days to determine whether a filing is substantially complete and generally 120 days after that determination to approve or deny it.

State route / Certified regime

Apply through an approved state framework

An issuer with no more than $10 billion of payment stablecoins outstanding may seek issuer-specific approval under a state framework certified as substantially similar to the federal framework. Existing bank, trust, money-transmitter, or SPDI authority is not automatically the same as PPSI approval.

Two separate approvals
The state framework must be certified, and then GreatLove's legal issuer and operating plan must receive state approval.
Federal certification
The reviewing committee consists of Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the FDIC and must act unanimously.
Growth threshold
Above $10 billion outstanding, a state nonbank issuer generally has 360 days to transition to federal supervision or must stop net new issuance, subject to the statutory waiver process.

The working regulatory timeline

GreatLove will use the rulemaking period to complete the institution rather than wait passively. The following planning dates reflect the law and public guidance available as of August 26, 2026; final rules may move individual milestones.

Now — Q4 2026
Finalize the issuer structure, management plan, capital strategy, reserve and redemption model, custody relationships, AML/KYC framework, cybersecurity, audit, governance, financial projections, business continuity, and wind-down plan; begin regulator engagement.
By November 2026
Review the OCC's anticipated final rule, Treasury's AML/CFT and sanctions requirements, application forms, and final state-similarity standards; compare the federal route with the strongest available state regimes.
Late 2026 — Jan. 18, 2027
Select the pathway and file when the chosen regulator begins accepting applications. Applications may become possible before the statutory effective date, but the opening date has not yet been announced.
Jan. 18, 2027
The GENIUS Act takes effect no later than this date, unless final federal regulations trigger the earlier statutory effective-date mechanism.
2027 review period
A substantially complete federal application generally carries a 120-day decision clock. A prepared state could seek framework certification after the Act takes effect; the federal committee then has 30 days to approve or deny the state submission. Issuer-specific state approval would still follow.
By Jan. 18, 2028
States have up to one year after the Act takes effect to submit their initial certification. A rejected state receives at least 180 days to correct its regime and resubmit, so some state routes may not become practical until later in 2027 or 2028.

What the GENIUS Act means for GLUSD

The GENIUS Act creates a national framework for payment stablecoins and generally limits issuance in the United States to permitted payment stablecoin issuers. Rather than treating regulation as a review that happens after launch, the framework makes the issuer itself central: its financial condition, governance, reserve practices, redemption process, controls, and supervision determine whether the stablecoin can be issued.

In practical terms, GreatLove would need to maintain identifiable permitted reserve assets worth at least the value of every GLUSD outstanding, keep those reserves segregated, and preserve enough liquidity to honor redemption at the promised monetary value. It would also need clear public redemption terms, reserve reporting and independent assurance, effective custody and cybersecurity, and a mature compliance program covering customer identification, anti-money-laundering controls, sanctions, transaction monitoring, and regulatory reporting.

The framework also prohibits paying interest or yield solely because someone holds or uses the payment stablecoin. GLUSD is therefore conceived as payment and settlement infrastructure—not as a yield-bearing investment product.

The GENIUS Act is enacted, while detailed OCC implementation rules remained proposed as of August 2026 and may change before becoming final.

The standard GreatLove is pursuing

The goal is not simply to place a token into circulation. It is to build a credible issuer capable of protecting reserves, processing redemptions, managing financial and operational risk, and giving customers and regulators a clear view of how GLUSD is governed. That requires qualified bank leadership, independent risk and audit functions, secure custody and key management, daily reconciliation, liquidity planning, stress testing, vendor oversight, incident response, and business continuity.

GreatLove Stablecoin Bank is pursuing that standard as a forward-looking regulatory objective. No statement on this page should be read as a claim that an SPDI charter, PPSI approval, Federal Reserve access, deposit insurance, or authorization to issue GLUSD has already been granted.

The future

GreatLove Stablecoin Bank will be the financial foundation of the wider GreatLove ecosystem including GLUSD, Great Love Community Coin (GLC), AI applications, and future vertical ecosystems—supporting responsible liquidity, partner settlement, cross-platform payments, compliant treasury services, and future partnerships with banks, fintech companies, payment networks, custodians, technology providers, and real-world businesses. Any future exchange, redemption, or interoperability between GLUSD, GLC, and partner assets will require separate legal review, technical controls, market-risk limits, and transparent public terms.

The GreatLove system

Five distinct layers. One coordinated flow of value.

The operating thesis

Infrastructure first. Utility second. Liquidity follows.

GreatLove’s value proposition is not built around a token price. It is built around verifiable utility: payments, merchant activity, member services, applications, and transparent governance.

Each layer has a different role. GLUSD moves value; GLBC is intended to organize rights and membership; GLC and vertical ecosystems create application-level utility; SoLoMoN+ AI Agents increase network productivity.

Design principles

Clear roles, accountable controls, and real-world utility.

01

Payments with a purpose

GLUSD is proposed as a shared settlement unit for GreatLove applications, member services, merchant activity, and ecosystem value exchange.

02

Institutional by design

Future regulated capabilities, reserve arrangements, and redemption processes remain subject to the appropriate legal, technical, and regulatory approvals.

03

Measured by the network

The intended measures of progress are active merchants, real transaction volume, recurring utility, transparent reporting, and responsible risk management.
