Took stances on a bill between May 20th, 2025 and Jun 17th, 2025
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.

@SenThomTillis
The same Democrats who helped write and negotiate the bipartisan GENIUS Act stablecoin bill just voted against advancing it. They keep moving the goalposts instead of doing what they know is needed to ensure America remains on the cutting edge of financial innovation.
