🏛️ What is the GENIUS Act?
Announced in a Senate session on June 17, 2025, with a majority of 68–30, then passed by the House of Representatives on July 17, 2025, with a vote of 308–122.
It was signed by the president on July 18, 2025.
The law imposes strict requirements on the issuance of stablecoins, including: • Full 1:1 backing with liquid assets (Dollar/Treasury bills), • Monthly reserve audits, • Compliance with anti-money laundering rules, • Ban on algorithmic currencies, • Prohibition of interest issuance directly from the issuer.
⚙️ Implementation Phases
The law will come into effect within 18 months of signing or within 120 days after the issuance of final regulations, i.e., before November 2026.
📌 Promotional Directions
After its signing, the market saw a positive response: senior executives such as Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini attended the signing ceremony, and stocks linked to cryptocurrencies experienced volatility and relief.
Critics have raised allegations of conflicts of interest—especially since the law does not prohibit profits for the president or his family.
Potential beneficiaries: Tether may lose its massive share (~$156 billion) due to transparency requirements, while Circle may achieve significant gains.
