๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ The GENIUS Act Is Law โ€“ But at What Cost?

On July 18, President Trump signed the GENIUS Act, the first federal regulation for stablecoins. Itโ€™s marketed as pro-innovation โ€” but there are serious risks to the crypto ecosystem.

๐Ÿ” Key concerns:

1๏ธโƒฃ Overregulation & Surveillance

Mandatory audits, reserve reports, full AML/KYC โ€” while transparent, it threatens user privacy and increases state control over stablecoin usage.

2๏ธโƒฃ Centralization of Power

Only large players (banks, fintechs) will meet strict requirements. Smaller, decentralized projects may disappear โ€” innovation could be stifled.

3๏ธโƒฃ Ethical Concerns

Trump and his family have direct ties to crypto companies. Yet the act allows presidential exemption from compliance. Conflict of interest?

4๏ธโƒฃ Exclusion of Non-Compliant Tokens

USDT and other offshore stablecoins may be sidelined in the U.S. Regulatory bottlenecks could shrink the available market for global users.

5๏ธโƒฃ DeFi Under Threat

Strict compliance could force DeFi platforms to limit access or change core mechanisms โ€” harming decentralization at its root.

๐Ÿง  What to watch:

Will USDC dominate stablecoin markets?

Can DeFi adapt to this compliance wave?

Will EU/Asia follow the U.S. model?

Will privacy coins rise in response?

โš ๏ธ The GENIUS Act may bring stability โ€” but also signals a shift toward centralized control, restricted access, and privacy erosion.
