Urgent Update on Potential Delay in U.S. Crypto Regulation
**Dear Binance Team,**
I wanted to highlight a critical development in U.S. crypto regulation that could impact our industry’s trajectory. Prominent crypto advocate and attorney John E. Deaton has warned that meaningful regulatory reform may be delayed until *2029* if Congress fails to pass the **GENIUS Act**, a stablecoin bill deemed essential for broader crypto legislation.
### Key Points:
1. **GENIUS Act Stalemate:** Deaton and Messari’s Ryan Selkis stress that without this bill, comprehensive reforms—including market structure legislation—could stall until the next presidential term.
2. **U.S. Dollar Dominance:** The bill is framed as a strategic move to bolster demand for U.S. Treasury securities and counter global "de-dollarization" efforts.
3. **Political Volatility:** Deaton criticized the U.S.’s inconsistent regulatory swings, noting outdated 1930s-era laws govern cutting-edge technologies like crypto.
4. **Immediate Risk:** Selkis warns that inaction this week could derail reforms under the current administration.
**Why This Matters:**
A delay could prolong uncertainty, stifling innovation and market stability. We must monitor bipartisan progress closely and prepare for scenarios where regulatory clarity remains fragmented.
