Bill: GENIUS Act
Details: The GENIUS Act of 2025 proposes a regulatory framework for payment stablecoins. It defines permitted issuers (insured depository institutions, their subsidiaries, and approved nonbank entities) and mandates 1:1 reserve backing with specific high-quality assets. The bill outlines federal and state regulatory oversight options, sets requirements for customer asset segregation, and grants stablecoin holders priority in insolvency proceedings. It also clarifies that regulated payment stablecoins are not considered securities or commodities under various acts. The bill designates issuers as financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act, requiring compliance with AML, KYC, and sanctions regulations to prevent illicit finance and safeguard national security. It also reinforces U.S. leadership in digital finance by supporting innovation and ensuring the dollar remains competitive in a rapidly evolving global financial landscape.

@SenatorAndyKim

There's a $232 billion, largely unregulated stablecoin market. It's currently being abused by bad actors including terrorist groups, cartels, and rouge states like North Korea. How can we begin to make it safer? Let me tell you.

Quoted from unchainedcrypto.com

"By a vote of 66-32, with 16 Democrats flipping their votes, the long-awaited stablecoin legislation achieved cloture and is now primed for a full floor vote in the Senate. Passage is a virtual certainty, as only a simple majority is now required rather than the high bar of 60 senators necessary for cloture."
Andy Kim voted against advancing this pro-crypto legislation during this May 19th Cloture vote.
