I would like to share an overview of Trump Genius Act . :-- The GENIUS Act, or Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act, is a federal law signed by President Donald Trump on July 18, 2025. It aims to regulate stablecoins by :-
- *Protecting Consumers*: Requiring stablecoin issuers to maintain 1-to-1 backing with high-quality assets like U.S. dollars or short-term Treasuries, and providing transparency through monthly disclosures.
- *Preventing Illicit Activities*: Subjecting issuers to the Bank Secrecy Act, requiring anti-money laundering (AML) and sanctions compliance programs.
- *Promoting U.S. Dollar Dominance*: Mandating reserves to be held in U.S. dollars or short-term Treasuries, potentially increasing demand for U.S. debt.
- *Regulating Issuers*: Limiting issuance to approved bank subsidiaries, federally approved nonbanks, or state-chartered entities.
The Act also
- *Prohibits Interest Payments*: Stablecoin issuers cannot offer yields or interest on stablecoins.
- *Restricts Large Tech Firms*: Prohibiting large technology companies from issuing payment stablecoins.
- *Enhances Oversight*: Requiring annual audits for larger stablecoin issuers and technical capabilities to freeze and seize assets under lawful orders.
