According to CoinMeta, as reported by Forkast, the deadline for public comments on the GENIUS bill by the Treasury Department is October 19, 2026, and there has been no extension. Any submitter who relied on the November 4 deadline has misunderstood the historical footnote as the current regulatory directive. The Treasury Department's proposal rule notice (NPRM) includes a footnote that provides background information on the early stages of rule formulation. The deadline for this notice is October 19, 2026, and the system is configured to reject late submissions. Documentation on the current rules shows that as of October 10, there have been 65 public submissions, with 36 submissions in the past 15 days and 9 submissions in the past week.
