The U.S. is going to try to regulate the #USCryptoWeek cryptocurrencies, but that will not free them from risk.

The sector of the #cryptomonedas has seen the approval in the U.S. Senate of the GENIUS Act (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act, GENIUS Act) as a great victory, in mid-June of this year 2025. With this law, the U.S. aims to regulate a type of cryptocurrency known as stablecoin (whose prices are linked to a physical currency). But a more detailed analysis reveals that it could help trigger a new economic collapse.

To understand the GENIUS Act, let’s go back to the early days of cryptocurrencies. These emerged as a decentralized currency whose supply, and therefore its value, would not be determined by the Federal Reserve or the European Central Bank, but by a complex and globalized computer system.

The first cryptocurrency, and the most prominent, was the $BTC (2009). The idea was that it would be a value similar to gold, which could be mined to provide a (nearly) constant supply, returning to the era of the #orocryptotrends standard when the value of any currency was determined by the value of gold and not by that of national economies.
