This initiative is directly in line with the implementation of the Genius Act, the historic legislation signed by Donald Trump that revolutionizes the regulatory framework for stablecoins. But what technologies are U.S. authorities really examining?
In summary
The U.S. Treasury is seeking comments until October 17, 2025, on anti-money laundering technologies in the crypto ecosystem.

Four technologies are at the center of the analysis: API, artificial intelligence, digital identity verification, and blockchain surveillance.
A strategic consultation to frame the crypto ecosystem
On August 18, 2025, the U.S. Department of the Treasury officially launched a 60-day public consultation period. This initiative directly derives from the Genius Act, historic text enacted by President Trump on July 18.
