Senate set to pass bill regulating stablecoins without addressing Trump crypto investments
Briefly

The Senate will likely approve the GENIUS Act, regulating stablecoins and providing consumer protections, marking a significant legislative milestone for the cryptocurrency industry. Despite 18 Democratic senators supporting the bill, concerns remain from many party members regarding its adequacy and potential conflicts of interest linked to former President Trump's financial engagements with crypto. This legislation also reflects the increasing political influence of the crypto sector, especially as lawmakers continue to address emerging technologies and their implications for consumer safety and financial regulation.
The GENIUS Act aims to provide essential regulations and consumer protections for stablecoins, marking a significant shift in how cryptocurrencies are governed in the U.S.
Support for the legislation from 18 Democratic senators demonstrates a growing bipartisan recognition of the need for regulations in the crypto sector.
