The Association for Cannabis Banking presents
Stablecoin Bootcamp
A progressive three-part webinar program that takes bankers from stablecoin fundamentals to GENIUS Act implementation and advanced financial-crime risk management.
Built specifically for financial institutions
From fundamentals to financial-crime controls.
Stablecoin Bootcamp is a progressive three-part educational program designed to help bankers understand the rapidly developing stablecoin market, the GENIUS Act, and the compliance obligations associated with digital payments. The program moves participants from foundational concepts to regulatory implementation and, finally, advanced financial-crime risk management.
Each part builds on the previous session while also functioning as a standalone webinar. Participants will learn how stablecoins operate, where banks may encounter them, and how the emerging regulatory framework could affect deposits, payments, liquidity, custody, customer relationships, and risk management.
Stablecoin Bootcamp translates a complex digital-asset environment into practical banking concepts. It is appropriate for directors, executives, compliance professionals, BSA officers, treasury management teams, operations personnel, lenders, auditors, and other bankers who need to understand how stablecoins are moving into the regulated financial system.
More than a webinar
Every session includes five additional handouts.
Participants leave each part with a practical resource package designed to support internal discussions, policy development, risk assessments, and implementation.

Stablecoins for Bankers—What Every Bank Must Know
Stablecoins are quickly moving from the edges of cryptocurrency into mainstream banking, payments, and treasury management. Unlike many other digital assets, stablecoins are designed to maintain a stable value—typically by referencing the U.S. dollar—and may be used to transfer value, settle transactions, facilitate cross-border payments, and support other digital financial services.
This foundational session explains stablecoins in practical banking language. Participants will learn how stablecoins are created, transferred, held, redeemed, and supported by reserve assets. The program will distinguish stablecoins from cryptocurrency, tokenized deposits, central bank digital currencies, traditional payment products, and other digital assets.
The webinar examines the opportunities and risks stablecoins may create for financial institutions. Even banks that do not issue or custody stablecoins may encounter them through customers, fintech partners, payment providers, reserve deposits, transaction activity, loan relationships, and third-party service providers.
Participants will learn
- How stablecoins work and how value moves across a blockchain network
- The differences among stablecoins, cryptocurrency, tokenized deposits, and traditional bank payments
- How banks may participate through payments, custody, reserve deposits, settlement, and customer relationships
- The potential effects on deposits, liquidity, treasury management, and payment revenue
- The principal legal, operational, cybersecurity, liquidity, consumer, and third-party risks
The GENIUS Act—Compliance Requirements for Banks and Issuers
The GENIUS Act establishes a federal regulatory framework for payment stablecoins and creates a new category of regulated payment stablecoin issuers. The law introduces standards governing who may issue payment stablecoins, how stablecoins must be supported, and how issuers will be supervised by federal or qualifying state regulators.
This intermediate session examines the GENIUS Act from the perspective of financial institutions and stablecoin issuers. Participants will explore requirements involving authorization, reserve assets, redemption, disclosures, custody, risk management, supervision, and regulatory reporting, as well as the different roles banks may assume.
The program will help financial institutions evaluate whether and how to participate in the stablecoin ecosystem. It identifies the governance, policy, due-diligence, operational, and third-party controls banks should consider before offering stablecoin-related services or establishing relationships with stablecoin issuers.
Participants will learn
- Which organizations may qualify as permitted payment stablecoin issuers
- How the GENIUS Act addresses reserve assets, liquidity, redemption, and customer disclosures
- Responsibilities of banks that issue, custody, support, or service stablecoins
- How federal and state regulators may supervise payment stablecoin issuers
- What boards and management should consider before approving a strategy or relationship
Stablecoin BSA/AML, Sanctions, and Transaction Monitoring
Stablecoins can move quickly across platforms, wallets, blockchains, and national borders. These characteristics can support efficient payments, but they can also create exposure to money laundering, sanctions evasion, fraud, ransomware, terrorist financing, cybercrime, human trafficking, and other illicit-finance activity.
This advanced session examines how the Bank Secrecy Act, customer identification, customer due diligence, suspicious activity reporting, and OFAC sanctions obligations apply in a stablecoin environment. Participants will learn how risks differ when a bank serves an issuer, holds reserve deposits, provides custody, or processes related payments.
The webinar also addresses blockchain analytics, wallet screening, transaction monitoring, escalation, and suspicious activity investigations. The emphasis is on developing a risk-based framework that combines blockchain information with traditional customer, account, payment, and transactional data.
Participants will learn
- How to conduct customer and beneficial-ownership due diligence on stablecoin businesses
- How blockchain analytics and counterparty exposure can support investigations
- Red flags involving sanctions evasion, fraud, ransomware, mixers, and high-risk jurisdictions
- How to integrate stablecoin activity into monitoring, escalation, case management, and SAR decisions
- How to establish controls for reserve accounts, custody, payments, and fintech partnerships
