The US Senate would be ready to approve significant legislation regulating stablescoins. This bill, known as Genius Act – an acronym to “guide and establish national innovation for American stablecoins” – marks a central moment for cryptographic industry when it seeks to acquire legitimacy and inspire consumer confidence. The legislation will soon move to the Chamber for potential amendments.
Bipartite support increases for the regulation of stablescoin
According to At fortune, eighteen Democratic senators have joined their republican counterparts to support the law on engineering, which should pass with a close majority of 53-47.
If it is approved, this would represent the second major bipartite measure to progress by the Senate this year, following the Riley Laken law on the application of immigration.
Senator Angela Alsobrooks, a Maryland democrat, expressed her optimism about bipartite effort, noting: “We could not include everything we would have wanted, but it was a good bipartite effort.” It highlighted the importance of regulating an unpleasant area before.
A notable provision within the Act on Engineering prohibits members of the Congress and their immediate families from taking advantage of the stablecoins, although this restriction does not extend to the president and his family.
In particular, this aspect has raised eyebrows, especially since President Donald Trump is expanding his involvement in the cryptographic space. Recently, Trump organized a private dinner in his golf club with investors in a Trump brand and has an important participation in World Liberty Financial (WLFI), which launched its own stablecoin, USD1.
“Super highway for corruption”
While the cryptographic industry considers this legislative effort as a bipartite success, the bill was confronted challenge Along the way. The president of the Senate banking committee, Tim Scott, a Southern Carolina Republican, noted: “The engineering law will be the most important digital asset legislation ever adopted by the American Senate.”
However, the bill met earlier this month when a group of Senate democrats withdrew its support, which returned renewed negotiations between the Senate Republicans, the Democrats and the White House.
Despite these efforts, unresolved concerns concerning conflicts of presidential interests persist, especially among democratic legislators. Senator Elizabeth Warren, vocal critic and classification member of the Senate Banking Committee, warned that the bill could create a “super highway” for potential corruption linked to Trump.
The senator, who is known for her Anti-Crypto positionalso expressed its concern about large technological companies, such as Amazon and Meta, presenting their own stablecoins.
If the Senate adopts the legislation on stables, it will always be faced with significant obstacles to the Chamber, where the republican majority could seek to attach larger provisions on the structure of the market to the bill. This could complicate his passage and delay his arrival at the president’s office.
