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.

A central bank digital currency (CBDC) allows governments to track purchases of its users. I voted to pass the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act to prohibit the U.S. from creating a CBDC, protecting your financial privacy and upholding American values.

A central bank digital currency allows unprecedented surveillance & control over private citizens’ bank accounts. This is wholly un-American and is used by governments like the CCP. I just voted for the CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act to protect your financial privacy & liberty.

The digital asset space is muddled with regulatory uncertainty, lack of authority, & a lacking framework for core operating principles. The #crypto industry wants clarity. This collaborative bill with @CongressmanGT & @RepFrenchHill gives both the CFTC & SEC a seat at the table.

The SEC cannot continue to regulate by enforcement. The lawsuits filed against digital asset firms are not protecting the public and are stifling innovation and growth. My letter to SEC Chair Gensler ⬇️ https://t.co/RjoBNs5YQs

There’s a lot of confusion surrounding digital assets. In a rare joint hearing with the digital assets subcommittees in both House Ag & House Financial Services Committees, leaders on digital assets and commodities cleared up some of our confusion so the U.S. can remain the leadelogical innovation.
