Bill Name
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.

$TRUMP is a blatant corruption scheme that makes a mockery of valid cryptocurrency. So is $MELANIA. Instead of draining the swamp, he’s given it memecoins. Foreign investment in these coins is already banned under the Emoluments Clause. Buyer beware. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/…

Quoted from coingape.com on 2024-08-14

Florida Congressman Darren Soto, along with his colleagues called on Kamala Harris to take three major actions when it comes to crypto:

  • Repealing and revamping the SAB 121 accounting guidelines, vetoed by the Biden Administration in July.
  • Passing the FIT21 crypto bill and working with Congress to pass the final bill with clarity on crypto regulations.
  • Recognizing the importance of crypto and the benefits associated with the remittance aspect of the same.

Clarity was needed since there is some debate whether agency jurisdiction over cryptocurrency has been fully established by law. The letter was well within Congress’ oversight duties.

The focus of the bipartisan March 16, 2022 letter was on the cryptocurrency industry as a whole. It was approved by Financial Services Committee Oversight legal staff. The letter sought clarity on SEC positions regarding its document request authority for crypto firms in general.

Rep Soto was one of the first voices in Congress to call for greater regulation of cryptocurrency to protect consumers. He filed & co-introduced Digital Taxonomy Act & Token Taxonomy Act in 2018. He passed parts of DTA out of the House this term to advance these efforts.
