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.

.@RepChuyGarcia and @RepLynch make a strong case for why the SEC should lead crypto reg efforts. The cryptocrash harmed low-income, Lation, Black and first-time investors. The crypto industry's efforts to undermine the SEC's jurisdiction added to this harm.

Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García: "The crypto industry is in crisis because crypto assets have no inherent value. These companies are making money using one thing: hype." He says FTX is not a singular case, listing other firms like Binance and Tether which are both under investigation.

Glad to join @FSCdems today to discuss the SEC. We need to stay vigilant about the risks that stablecoins and crypto present to the national and global economy. I'm glad that @SECgov Chair @GaryGensler is committed to this issue, and on the case.
