#StablecoinLaw 🇺🇸 The GENIUS Act—short for Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins—was just signed into law by President Trump, marking a major turning point for the crypto industry.

Here’s what it means:

🏛️ Key Features of the Law

- 100% Reserve Requirement: Stablecoins must be backed 1:1 by liquid assets like U.S. dollars or short-term Treasuries.

- Monthly Public Disclosures: Issuers must publish detailed reports on their reserves.

- Federal & State Oversight: Aligns state and federal frameworks to ensure consistent regulation.

- Anti-Money Laundering Compliance: Issuers are now subject to the Bank Secrecy Act and must implement robust AML programs.

- Consumer Protections: In case of insolvency, stablecoin holders’ claims are prioritized over other creditors.

🌍 Why It Matters

- Boosts Trust: Clear rules could make stablecoins more reliable and widely accepted.

- Strengthens the Dollar: By requiring backing in U.S. assets, the law aims to reinforce the dollar’s global dominance.

- Encourages Innovation: With regulatory clarity, companies like Coinbase, Amazon, and Walmart are exploring stablecoin payments.
