@SenateAgGOP

Great work by Chairmen @CongressmanGT and @RepFrenchHill in leading House-passage of critical digital asset market structure legislation. This is a strong step forward, and Chairman @JohnBoozman and members of this committee look forward to building on this progress.

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.

@SenateAgGOP

We had a great hearing this morning on our crypto bill. We heard from CFTC Chairman Behnam and a panel of industry stakeholders in support of our bill and offering suggestions to strengthen it. I look forward working with Chairwoman Stabenow and our co-sponsors to get it passed.

A push in Washington to transform the U.S. derivatives regulator into a top crypto watchdog is gaining steam with a Senate bill that would give the Commodity Futures Trading Commission sweeping new powers to oversee the asset class. nwaonline.com/news/2022/aug/…

The patchwork of regulations at the state level that currently govern crypto don't effectively protect consumers from fraud. Legislation introduced today by @JohnBoozman, @SenStabenow, @SenJohnThune & @CoryBooker will lead to more safeguards for consumers.

Digital assets are changing the way our global markets function, yet the current regulatory framework is not effective to protect consumers from fraud. @JohnBoozman, @SenStabenow, @CoryBooker, and @SenJohnThune are aiming to change that.
