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.

Just voted with @HouseGOP to stand up for liberty and pass @GOPMajorityWhip’s CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act. Nothing is more un-American than giving the feds CCP-style surveillance tools and the power to monitor our financial transactions. Not here, not now, not ever.

We need to be doing everything we can to cut off funding for Hamas. Today I joined @GOPMajorityWhip's letter to Pres. Biden and Treasury Secretary Yellen pressing them for answers on the role digital assets play in financing Hamas' barbaric terrorist operations.
