Senator Hagerty's Stablecoin Bill Advances in U.S. Senate

Senator Bill Hagerty is one step closer to having the GENIUS Act cleared and in effect. The bill aims to establish a comprehensive federal framework for stablecoins. It is designed to provide much-needed regulatory clarity to the fast-evolving digital asset sector in the country. If the GENIUS Act is passed, it would set clear rules for both bank and non-bank stablecoin issuers, ensuring transparency and consumer protection across the board.

The GENIUS Act finally has bipartisan support, with prominent backing from Senators Tim Scott and Kirsten Gillibrand. Senator Hagerty described the bill as "a safe and pro-growth regulatory framework that will unleash innovation and advance the President’s mission to make America the world capital of crypto."
