These include expanded anti-money laundering obligations, a national security waiver mechanism, enhanced oversight of foreign issuers, and penalties of up to $1 million per day for violations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Senators warned that they would not support advancing the legislation to the Senate floor without enhancements addressing these issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bill also empowers the Treasury Department to designate compliant foreign jurisdictions and revoke their status with a 90-day transition window.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Structure of oversight and issuer obligations<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under the GENIUS Act, issuers must maintain full, high-quality liquid reserves, typically US Treasuries or insured deposits, backed 1:1 against liabilities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They are prohibited from offering yield-bearing products and must comply with customer verification, suspicious activity monitoring, and AML program requirements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Issuers are also subject to federal or federally certified state oversight, depending on their issuance scale. The threshold for federal regulation is the issuance of more than $10 billion in stablecoins.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bill designates primary federal regulators for the sector, including the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the National Credit Union Administration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, the legislation authorizes the Treasury to coordinate interoperability and foreign frameworks.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bill further prohibits non-permitted issuers from entering the US market after a three-year grace period.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While sponsors remain engaged in negotiations, the impasse reveals the difficulty of reconciling innovation policy with national security and financial stability objectives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Passage of the GENIUS Act now depends on whether revisions can sufficiently address Democratic objections without unraveling bipartisan support secured during committee markup.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Senate GENIUS Act bill, designed to establish federal rules for stablecoins, is facing resistance from key Democrats, jeopardizing the prospects for broader crypto legislation in 2025.\u00a0 The Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins Act (GENIUS Act) advanced from the Senate Banking Committee in March with bipartisan support.
