Paul Atkins said the U.S. Congress passed and the president signed the GENIUS Act late last year. This is the first time the US government has officially recognized crypto assets through legislation, and it also provides a clear regulatory framework for stablecoins.
He noted that Congress is now advancing new bipartisan cooperation with the goal of further clarifying market structure rules for cryptocurrencies. This process aligns with the government’s policy direction to “make the United States the crypto capital of the world.”
Atkins stressed that as long as the legislation is clear and the rules are well defined, the market can gain certainty. He is optimistic that the relevant legislation will continue to advance this year and will be submitted to the President for signature, believing that this will provide substantial assistance to the crypto market and its investors.
