⏺ Trump Signs First U.S. Crypto Law — GENIUS Act Legalizes Stablecoins, But At a Cost
The GENIUS Act, signed by Donald Trump, is the first official U.S. crypto law legalizing stablecoins — but it comes with strict government oversight. While some celebrate it as a "historic victory", others see it as crypto's official surrender to the state.
🔍 What’s really inside the law:
— Stablecoins are no longer in the shadows — all tokens must now be government-regulated
— Strict reserve rules: 1 token = 1 real dollar held in reserve
— The U.S. Treasury can now freeze any suspicious transaction (!), instantly halting payments deemed risky
— Stablecoin issuers must implement full KYC: passport, address, selfie, income verification
— Platforms must comply with anti-money laundering, terrorism financing, and sanctions evasion checks
— In return, banks are officially allowed to issue their own stablecoins — previously done in grey zones, now fully legalized and supervised
— Every crypto platform now depends on approval from U.S. regulators
— This is not a law for freedom — it’s a law of control
Many in the crypto community are outraged: freezing blockchain transactions feels like dystopia.
