#GENIUSActPass
The #GENIUSActPass hashtag is lighting up right now—and for good reason. The U.S. Senate just passed the **GENIUS Act**, a landmark bill that lays down the first federal framework for regulating stablecoins. It passed with a strong bipartisan vote of 68–30 and now heads to the House for consideration.
The GENIUS Act—short for *Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins*—aims to bring clarity and oversight to the $250+ billion stablecoin market. It includes provisions like:
- Requiring stablecoin issuers to maintain adequate reserves.
- Mandating disclosure of holdings by government officials.
- Strengthening consumer protections and anti-money laundering rules.
Supporters say it could boost U.S. leadership in crypto innovation while protecting consumers and the financial system.
