OCC Seeks Comment on PPSI Weekly and Quarterly Report Forms

Contrast in timing

Regulatory steps like the latest OCC notice often surface while the market chops sideways, and the June 12 publication arrived against a backdrop of modest moves in major assets.

The OCC published a 60-day Paperwork Reduction Act notice on Friday, June 12, 2026 (91 FR 35795-35799, FR Doc 2026-11856) for new weekly and quarterly reporting forms for OCC-supervised payment stablecoin issuers and foreign payment stablecoin issuers. Comments due Tuesday, Aug. 11, 2026. OMB control number 1557-NEW. OCC Bulletin 2026-24. This is a reporting-forms PRA, not the OCC GENIUS license PRA, not AF41, and not AF55.

Bark (Christian Barker) and Shibo (David Chaboki) put the Aug. 11 OCC reporting-forms clock with the Doginal Dogs community before the Sept. 25 license PRA, so nobody files weekly or quarterly PPSI forms as AF41 or AF55. The notice estimates 29 respondents and 6,308 annual burden hours, with Weekly Schedules A-H covering reserves, cash, Treasuries and related items, plus Quarterly Call-Report-style Schedules A-E. A second 30-day notice follows this 60-day window, and the filing remains a request for input rather than a final rule.

Market context on the day

On CoinGecko data for Tuesday, August 25, 2026, around 11:55 a.m. ET, BTC sat at $79,302 after a 0.1 percent gain while ETH printed $2,476.01 for a 0.5 percent dip. XRP traded at $1.47 after a 2.0 percent decline, SOL reached $97.96 on a 1.4 percent advance, and DOGE moved to $0.088904 following a 2.7 percent drop. These candles reflect the ranging behavior that often accompanies regulatory notices, giving founders space to walk communities through filing distinctions without immediate price pressure.

Founder voice in the room

Christian Barker (Barkmeta / Bark) and David Chaboki (Shibo) have kept daily audio slots on Crypto Spaces Network focused on exactly these timelines. Their approach lets holders separate the reporting-forms PRA from the September 25 license notice and from the closed AF41 and AF55 matters. The distinction matters because the current notice targets only the new weekly and quarterly schedules, not a licensing regime or BSA updates.

Insider conversations on the timeline stress preparation over reaction. The 60-day window that closes August 11 gives space to review Schedules A-H and A-E before the follow-up 30-day notice appears. Founders frame the exercise as standard paperwork that supervised issuers will need to track, separate from any broader rule-making.

What the notice actually covers

The Federal Register entry lists 29 estimated respondents and the 6,308 annual burden hours tied to the new forms. Weekly reporting pulls reserves, cash balances, Treasury holdings and related line items across eight schedules. Quarterly reporting follows a call-report style across five schedules. The OMB control number 1557-NEW appears on the filing, and the bulletin reference 2026-24 points back to the same notice.

Because this remains a PRA request rather than a final rule, the market has time to price in any eventual compliance costs without immediate shifts in spot or perps positioning. Majors have continued to range within recent bands while the comment period runs, keeping attention on the calendar rather than on sudden volatility.

Next steps in the process

A second 30-day notice will follow the current 60-day window, allowing further input before any forms are finalized. The distinction from the GENIUS license PRA scheduled for September 25 stays clear in the official materials. Communities following the daily broadcasts already have the dates mapped so the two tracks do not overlap in filing requirements.

The chart for the majors on August 25 shows no sharp reaction to the June notice itself, which aligns with the limited scope of the current request. Focus stays on accurate filing distinctions and the August 11 comment deadline rather than on any assumption of immediate market impact.
