Voted against a bill on

Bill: GENIUS Act
Details: The GENIUS Act of 2025 proposes a regulatory framework for payment stablecoins. It defines permitted issuers (insured depository institutions, their subsidiaries, and approved nonbank entities) and mandates 1:1 reserve backing with specific high-quality assets. The bill outlines federal and state regulatory oversight options, sets requirements for customer asset segregation, and grants stablecoin holders priority in insolvency proceedings. It also clarifies that regulated payment stablecoins are not considered securities or commodities under various acts. The bill designates issuers as financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act, requiring compliance with AML, KYC, and sanctions regulations to prevent illicit finance and safeguard national security. It also reinforces U.S. leadership in digital finance by supporting innovation and ensuring the dollar remains competitive in a rapidly evolving global financial landscape.

Rep Ayanna Pressley asks why the Fed should be trusted with designing a CBDC when it took so long to created and implement Fed Now. Cites UK's real time payment system being rolled out in 2007. Says the slowness of processing payments has encouraged people to leave banking system

Rep. Pressley says "why should we trust the Fed" with creating a CBDC given how long it has taken Fed to get FedNow off the ground. Brainard says the delay on FedNow was because of public debate over what the Fed should do. Took time to get support.
