Donald Trump is backing the GENIUS Act (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins), saying it'll put the US ahead of China and Europe in digital assets. The bill aims to regulate US stablecoins, ensuring their legal use for payments and maintaining the dollar's dominance.
*Key Points about the GENIUS Act:*
- *Regulation of Stablecoins*: Establishes a framework for payment stablecoins in the US, with a dual oversight system for issuers.
- *Reserve Requirements*: Mandates stablecoin issuers to maintain 1:1 reserve backing with high-quality liquid assets.
- *Transparency and AML*: Requires issuers to disclose reserve holdings, undergo regular audits, and comply with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) protections.
- *US Leadership in Digital Assets*: Trump believes the GENIUS Act will solidify America's leading position in digital assets.¹ ²
The bill is part of "Crypto Week" in the US House, where lawmakers are considering several bills related to digital asset regulation. Some Republican House members have concerns about the bill's stance on central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
