The regulation includes a 1:1 reserves requirement, consisting of US dollars, insured bank deposits, or short-term Treasury bills.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Senate Banking Committee <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/senate-banking-committee-passes-genius-act-with-bipartisan-support-advancing-stablecoin-regulation\/\">approved the bill<\/a> on March 13 with bipartisan support. It is now clear for a full Senate vote.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Registration pathways<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The GENIUS Act appears to provide Tether with a clear option to register as a stablecoin issuer in the US, likely through the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If it chooses this route, Tether could either register USDT fully or create a subsidiary that issues a compliant version of the token.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if Tether does not register, it can still operate in the US if it adheres to compliance requirements set by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), which it already does.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thorn added that the bill provides important clarifications regarding anti-money laundering protections. The US Treasury will only designate a foreign, non-registered issuer as non-compliant if it fails to comply with lawful orders to freeze or seize assets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This designation would not be automatic for all non-registered stablecoin issuers. Tether has a history of complying with such orders and has frozen at least 2,150 addresses to date, which suggests it would not be at immediate risk of being classified as non-compliant under the GENIUS Act.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Additional restrictions<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The analyst also highlighted new amendments to the bill that introduce further limitations on offshore, non-registered stablecoins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specifically, stablecoins issued by entities not registered under the framework would not be treated as cash equivalents for accounting purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> They would not be eligible for margin or cash equivalency treatment by broker-dealers, swap dealers, futures commission merchants (FCMs), or derivatives clearing organizations (DCOs).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thorn reiterated that these measures would limit unregistered stablecoins' financial and institutional use but would not bar their existence or prevent trading within the US market.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Galaxy head of research Alex Thorn believes the GENIUS Act could favor Tether by allowing it to operate under relatively flexible conditions.
