Stablecoin reserve notes & teardowns
ReserveBeat notes and teardowns explain how stablecoin reserve reporting works: methodology deep-dives, GENIUS Act attestation requirements, and walk-throughs of issuer-published attestation reports. Every figure quoted in a post renders verbatim from stored primary-source evidence at its stated scope, with its limits beside it — never an estimate, and never a judgment of any issuer's solvency.

- How quickly do stablecoin issuers publish attestations after month-end?
Published
Publication lag across the seven stablecoins ReserveBeat tracks: the days between the date a reserve report covers and the date the document carries, report by report, from the reports on file.
- How can I track stablecoin supply on-chain? Storage proof or eth_call
Published
Why six of the seven on-chain supply figures on ReserveBeat carry the STORAGE-PROVEN tier and one, RLUSD, carries QUORUM ETH-CALL: what each tier checks, why RLUSD's supply has no slot to prove, and how to read the tier from the keyless API.
- When does the GENIUS Act take effect? January 18, 2027, and what is still proposed
Published
The GENIUS Act's effective-date clock: the statute's two dates, Treasury's stated expectation of January 18, 2027, and a dated status table of the implementing proposals and reporting forms as found in the Federal Register on September 25, 2026.
- What the GENIUS Act actually requires of stablecoin reserve reporting
Published
A plain-language explainer of the GENIUS Act's reserve and disclosure requirements for permitted payment stablecoin issuers: one-to-one reserves in permitted assets, monthly examined disclosures, executive certification, and the marketing lines an issuer may not cross.
- How ReserveBeat measures stablecoin reserves: a methodology deep-dive
Published
A walk through the measurement methodology behind the ReserveBeat coverage board: storage-proven on-chain supply, hash-anchored attestation parsing, same-document coverage ratios, and an append-only evidence chain — with the real limits stated beside each figure.
- Teardown: Circle's May 2026 USDC examination report
Published
A line-by-line walk through Circle's May 2026 USDC reserve examination: the stated reserve assets against USDC in circulation, the month-over-month composition shift from repo into Treasuries, and what the document's own metadata does and does not state.
Frequently asked questions
Who writes these posts?
Posts are written and reviewed under ReserveBeat's own byline. Some start as data-driven drafts generated from newly captured attestation reports, but every post is human-reviewed and approved before it appears here — nothing publishes automatically.
Where do the figures in posts come from?
From the same evidence pipeline as the rest of the site: issuer-published attestation reports and independently measured on-chain supply. Figures quoted in a post render verbatim at their stated scope and are never recomputed or estimated.
Are posts investment or legal advice?
No. Posts explain how public reserve reporting works and what specific disclosures state. They are not investment advice, not legal advice, and never an opinion on any issuer's solvency.
