Donald Trump is set to sign the GENIUS Act, marking a significant accomplishment in cryptocurrency legislation in the US. This act provides a federal framework for stablecoins, which are less volatile due to being backed by stable assets like the US dollar. While the act aims to encourage cryptocurrency adoption, critics caution about potential risks, including inadequate consumer protection and the possibility of risky investments disguised as safe. Concerns have been raised regarding the legitimacy of stablecoins and potential scams targeting inexperienced investors.
The GENIUS Act is expected to spur more widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies, as stablecoins are often used to move funds between different tokens.
Critics warned that Republicans were rushing the pro-industry bill without ensuring adequate consumer protections, setting Americans up to embrace stablecoins as legitimate.
