An XRP advocate has warned that other crypto laws are unlikely to pass if the stablecoin bill fails
XRP advocate John Dayton has warned that crypto regulation laws could stall until 2029 if the GENIUS Act, which focuses on stablecoin laws, fails in the US Senate.
According to $XRP advocate John E. Dayton, if the Stablecoin bill GENIUS Act does not pass the US Senate, there may not be any major crypto legislation before 2029.
The lawyer, known for his involvement in the $XRP legal case, said on social media that the Senate's inaction could delay the regulatory clarity needed to place the digital asset.
Dayton said that the bill, which aims to regulate stablecoins, is non-controversial and serves the national interest.

However, he expressed concerns that if lawmakers cannot pass this bill, other complex crypto bills such as market structure legislation, the Lummis-Gillibrand bill, or tax reform are unlikely to pass soon.
The GENIUS Act focuses on stablecoin regulation.
The Genius Act is spearheaded by Senator Bill Hagerty and seeks to create a legal framework for issuing stablecoins in the United States.
The bill aims to ensure high quality deposits with issuers to promote consumer safety and transparency.
During an interview on CNBC's "Squawk Box," Senator Hagerty said, "This Stablecoin bill will bring regulatory clarity and support dollar-backed innovation in America."
He explained that the lack of clear rules has pushed many crypto-related projects overseas. The bill aims to reverse this trend by creating a clear regulatory path for stablecoin issuers.
He added that the use of the SEC’s enforcement actions to regulate digital assets has created confusion in the market.
By establishing a formal framework, the bill can help both consumers and businesses operate with better legal understanding. However, despite the concerns, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand predicts that stablecoin regulation could pass this week.
