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.

Crypto is here to stay. I'm excited to work with President @realDonaldTrump's crypto czar and the new leadership he'll place at @SECGov to help make America the #fintech hub of the world. Watch my conversation with @RepDanCrenshaw and @RepHouchin

Digital assets and crypto are the new Space Race. To bolster America’s global leadership, ensure our national security, and support innovation in our financial markets – it’s vital to cultivate an environment that allows these technologies to grow and thrive here in the U.S.

@RepHouchin

Testimony at @FinancialCmte suggested that getting to a regulatory structure is “not a race.” But that is wrong. There is a great risk to American leadership if we fail to establish clear guidance and rules for digital asset innovators while other countries move full speed ahead.

@FinancialCmte: Despite the rapid growth of digital assets – like crypto – companies in this industry face difficulty growing here in America. I asked for the impact to U.S. competitiveness if this pace continues. @BitGo CEO: “It would be devastating to the American business.”
