President Trump just signed the GENIUS Act. We now have a clear, American-led framework for digital assets that will protect consumers and encourage innovation. Let's keep America the crypto capital of the world!

Proud to vote for the GENIUS Act this week. It strengthens our national security, safeguards consumers, and maintains U.S. dominance. I’m looking forward to building on this momentum and keeping America in the driver’s seat on crypto!🇺🇸

Took stances on a bill between May 20th, 2025 and Jun 17th, 2025
Bill Name
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.

Esta política no es muy popular con los Salvadoreños en EEUU. Estamos respondiendo a sus preocupaciones. Quizas no confian en un presidente que se jacta de comprar Bitcoin “desnudo.”

Salvadoran residents in the United States don’t like this policy. We are being responsive to their concerns. Perhaps they don’t trust a president who brags about trading Bitcoin “naked.”
