# Reserve requirements

The GENIUS Act requires a permitted issuer to hold reserves backing its outstanding payment stablecoins on at least a one-to-one basis, composed of narrowly defined permitted assets. Reserves must not be pledged or reused except as the Act allows. This entry summarizes the requirement; the statute defines its exact terms.

## Disclaimer

ReserveBeat renders figures from issuer-published reports and public blockchains, verbatim and at their stated scope. It is not an auditor, makes no attestation, and states no opinion on any issuer's solvency. Nothing here is investment, trading, legal, tax, or accounting advice. No figure published here is a recommendation to hold, buy, sell, or redeem any token.

Tracked tokens are subjects of public data: supply figures are read from their public Ethereum contracts, and composition figures from the issuers' own published attestation reports. No tracked issuer is a customer and none has endorsed this site.
