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.

Thinking about investing in crypto? While digital assets can offer new opportunities, they also come with risks. Before you invest: ✔ Research the market and volatility ✔ Use reputable platforms ✔ Never invest more than you can afford to lose Smart investing starts with smart learning. #FLM2025

Congresswoman Beatty's tweet from April 22, 2025, on crypto investing, while seemingly benign, reflects a cautious approach towards digital assets. Her emphasis on risks and responsible investing, while important for any investment, lacks acknowledgement of the potential upsides and transformative power of cryptocurrencies. This measured stance, combined with her past voting record against pro-crypto legislation (like the FIT21 and the repeal of the IRS Defi Reporting Rule), paints a picture of a representative who isn't necessarily hostile to crypto, but certainly isn't an advocate. This explains the neutral stance score of 50. It's crucial for crypto enthusiasts in Ohio's 3rd district to engage with her office and showcase the positive aspects of this technology. Education is key to fostering a regulatory environment that supports innovation while mitigating risks.

Today, the GOP is forcing the Cmte to markup a stablecoins bill that is TERRIBLE for consumers & BAD for our financial system. Instead of continuing to work w/@FSCDems to come to an agreement, Republicans decided to abruptly bring this bill to Cmte. Let’s talk about it 🧵:
