The US Senate is expected to vote on the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act today at <\/span>approximately 8 P.M. EDT<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong>However, its unclear whether the bill will pass or continue to face delays.<\/p>\n

The GENIUS Act seeks to establish a federal regulatory framework for payment stablecoins, but has faced hurdles in progress in recent weeks due to a divide among lawmakers.<\/span><\/p>\n

The debate came just over a week after a<\/span> failed procedural vote<\/a><\/strong>, in which all 49 Democratic senators blocked a motion to invoke cloture on the bill\u2019s consideration, halting its initial path to the floor.<\/span><\/p>\n

In subsequent days, reports of a bipartisan effort to re-adapt the bill for another vote surfaced, resulting in changes to the proposal initially denied.<\/span><\/p>\n

Democrats push back<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While supporters say the bill would bolster US dollar dominance and provide critical oversight to a $250 billion market, opponents argue the latest draft contains broad loopholes for political figures and tech companies while creating security risks and insufficient consumer protections.<\/span><\/p>\n

A May 19 memo by Senate Banking Committee Democratic staff<\/span> accused the latest draft<\/a><\/strong> of enabling \u201cTrump crypto corruption.\u201d It references provisions that fail to bar elected officials, including President Donald Trump<\/a> and his family, from owning or profiting from stablecoin ventures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The memo claimed that the bill\u2019s current language could allow Trump to benefit from the USD1<\/a> stablecoin, the token issued by a project endorsed by him and his family, World Liberty Financial.<\/span><\/p>\n

The memo also warned of expanded loopholes for offshore issuers like Tether<\/a> and private big tech firms. It noted that allowing the trading of stablecoins issued offshore on US-based exchanges could make it easier for criminals to move funds into the US financial system.<\/span><\/p>\n

The document also stated that the draft still allows companies not predominantly engaged in financial services to issue their own stablecoins, with Elon Musk\u2019s<\/a> X<\/a> mentioned as a potential beneficiary. It further argued that the exemption for private issuers undermines existing prohibitions on corporate currency issuance and poses systemic financial risks.<\/span><\/p>\n

The memo concluded that the draft\u2019s updates are \u201cfig leaves,\u201d restating existing protections without materially addressing national security concerns, sanctions enforcement, or misleading marketing by issuers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Necessary first step<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In contrast, bill proponents, including Senate Republicans, industry groups, and some moderate Democrats, framed the GENIUS Act as a needed legislative foundation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN), the bill\u2019s sponsor,<\/span> described<\/a><\/strong> the legislation as pro-growth and \u201cthe first ever regulatory framework for payment stablecoins.\u201d He argued it would strengthen the US dollar, increase demand for Treasury assets, and keep innovation onshore.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bo Hines, executive director of the President\u2019s Council of Advisers for Digital Assets, also<\/span> voiced support<\/a><\/strong>, saying the legislation would modernize the financial system and provide Americans with faster and more affordable payment tools.<\/span><\/p>\n

Amanda Tuminelli, executive director and chief legal officer of the DeFi Education Fund,<\/span> issued a statement<\/a><\/strong> urging bipartisan support. She claimed regulatory clarity for stablecoins is in the best interest of the US dollar, American consumers, and small businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ji Kim, acting CEO of the Crypto Council for Innovation,<\/span> said<\/a><\/strong> on May 19 that the vote is \u201ca critical step to establish a regulatory framework for stablecoins that fosters responsible innovation\u201d and that the legislation is essential for preserving US leadership in digital finance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Support has also come from advocacy organizations like Stand With Crypto, which<\/span> declared<\/a><\/strong> the Senate vote a \u201ckey vote\u201d for its 52 million American members and urged constituents to pressure senators to back the bill.<\/span><\/p>\n

Justin Slaughter, VP of regulatory affairs at Paradigm<\/a> and a former Democratic staffer,<\/span> offered<\/a><\/strong> a pragmatic endorsement, saying that this is \u201cclose to the best we can get for years and years.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Slaugther added that while the bill isn\u2019t perfect, it addresses the regulatory void surrounding stablecoins and mirrors the approach adopted by the EU, UK, and Japan.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
