The President of the USA, Trump, is personally promoting two new bills — GENIUS and CLARITY, which could completely change the role of cryptocurrencies in the economy.
CLARITY: crypto is not a security, but a commodity.
— Transforms cryptocurrencies into the category of commodities (like gold, oil, and wheat), rather than securities;
— This means: the SEC loses the ability to control the crypto market through the status of stocks;
— The decision removes risks similar to the case against the GRAM token from Telegram in 2020;
— Crypto officially exits the legal gray area in the USA;
— This is a precedent: for the first time, the state recognizes the independence of digital assets.
GENIUS: the return of private money and the death of SWIFT.
— Legalizes stablecoins and recognizes them as a full-fledged means of payment;
— Banks are allowed to issue their own stablecoins — this undermines the monopoly of the Federal Reserve;
— Transfers will be instant and without fees — without intermediaries like VISA and Mastercard;
— The classical banking system is losing relevance — and is preparing for restructuring;
— Bank of America has already announced the launch of its own stablecoin;
— J.P. Morgan issued a digital currency earlier — but so far only for closed transactions;
— The USA is forming a new financial architecture with global ambitions.
