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.

Under Republican leadership, America will NEVER adopt the creepy, Communist China style surveillance tool known as a Central Bank Digital Currency. Let's pass @GOPMajorityWhip's CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act!

With the GENIUS Act, Republicans are ensuring the U.S. leads the global development, issuance, and adoption of stablecoins. This legislation will protect consumers, bolster our national security, and ensure the U.S. dollar remains the foundation of the global financial system.

The House just passed @RepMikeCarey's CRA resolution to overturn one Biden's 11th hour attacks on the digital asset ecosystem--the IRS' DeFi Broker Rule. Proud to support this resolution to protect American DeFi projects and prevent blockchain innovation from moving overseas.
