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.

Thank you, President Trump, @FBIDirectorKash and @AGPamBondi, for keeping this crypto out of the hands of terrorists, who are still holding Americans and Israelis hostage. The United States stands with Israel. 🇮🇱O

Yet another outstanding victory for federal law enforcement. @FBIAlbuquerque and our @TheJusticeDept partners seized over $200,000 worth of crypto intended to support Hamas and its operations. Amazing work by our Cyber and Counterterrorism divisions. Under @AGPamBondi’s leadership, we are finding terrorists every day, breaking their operations, and bringing them to justice.

Xi and his thugs have no business playing big brother to American citizens and how they spend their money. That’s exactly why I am fighting to pass my Chinese CBDC Prohibition Act with @SenTedCruz and @MarshaBlackburn ⬇️ https://t.co/xqxbx1GoSX
