**Washington D. C. – April 27, 2026** – Auditchain Labs AG today submitted a comprehensive comment letter to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) on Docket [OCC-2025-0372](https://www.regulations.gov/comment/OCC-2025-0372-0122), addressing the agency’s proposed rulemaking to implement the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act.

The comment letter urges the OCC to incorporate the company’s **Blockchain Network Participation (BNP) Disclosure Taxonomy** — a fully structured, machine-readable framework consisting of **148 input questions mapped to 125 XBRL output elements** across eight disclosure domains — directly into the final rule, specifically to strengthen operational risk management requirements under § 15.13.

Key elements of the proposed BNP framework include mandatory disclosures on:

- Blockchain protocols utilized and consensus mechanisms
- Direct and affiliate network participation (validators, governance, concentration)
- Systemic risk and concentration analysis
- Operational controls and MEV conflict mitigation
- Multi-network, affiliate, and third-party service provider arrangements (including yield evasion and structural risks)

The submission emphasizes that reserve attestations alone create an illusion — the false assumption that fiat backing alone guarantees stability. True operational security for stablecoins requires continuous, machine-readable transparency into the underlying blockchain infrastructure, cross-chain bridges, validator dependencies, and Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) surfaces that can render even fully reserved assets inaccessible or depegged.

*“This submission represents a significant step toward modernizing U.S. stablecoin regulation with structured, computable data that matches the speed and complexity of blockchain infrastructure”, said* ***Jason Meyers****,* ***Lead Architect at Auditchain Labs AG*** *and contributor to the Rutgers CAR Lab research paper* [*Beyond the Fiat Vault*](https://raw.rutgers.edu/bnp-disclosure-taxonomy)*. “The GENIUS Act’s reserve-focused approach must be supplemented with infrastructure disclosures. Our BNP XBRL-JSON taxonomy provides regulators with the supervisory tool needed for true safety and soundness and conflict of interest oversight.”*

The proposal to OCC builds directly on Auditchain’s broad policy campaign and direct engagements with the FDIC (RIN 3064-AG20, [February](https://auditchain.com/auditchain-labs-urges-proof-of-work-and-proof-of-stake-activity-disclosures-for-stablecoin-applications/) and [March](https://www.fdic.gov/federal-register-publications/supplemental-comment-auditchain-labs-ag-jason-meyers-rin-3064-ag20) 2026), OCC on [Bank Chartering](https://www.regulations.gov/comment/OCC-2025-0768-0016) and [NCUA 2025-1335-0001](https://auditchain.com/auditchain-labs-proposes-bnp-disclosure-for-ncua-oversight-of-stablecoin-issuers/)
