GENIUS Act, a landmark bill focused on stablecoin regulation, is being driven forward by Senate Majority Leader John Thune. Thune’s focus on stablecoin regulation has gathered momentum. The GENIUS Act is scheduled to be debated on the Senate floor before Memorial Day in 2025. This initiative aligns with broader national priorities for addressing the growing impact of digital assets on financial institutions.

What is the GENIUS Act?

The GENIUS Act (Global Economic Network, Integrity, and Unified Supervision Act) aims to establish a federal legal framework for payment stablecoins. These are digital assets linked to a fiat currency such as the US dollar. The measure aims to simplify issuance, reserves, and consumer safeguards. It also guarantees that stablecoin issuers fulfill high transparency and solvency standards.

One of the GENIUS Act’s key features is to regulate issuers depending on their size and market capitalisation. This would establish government monitoring thresholds. It focuses primarily on the market’s top players to avoid overregulation of smaller issuers. In addition, the act requires stablecoins to be backed by high-quality liquid assets, like as US Treasuries. This promotes stability and safeguards customers.

The STABLE Act: The Companion Bill

In parallel, the STABLE Act (Stablecoin Transparency and Accountability for a Better Ledger Economy Act) is being debated in the House of Representatives. It shares the goals of the GENIUS Act but uses different regulatory measures. For example, the STABLE Act does not establish a precise market capitalisation level. It provides greater freedom in determining whether stablecoin issuers are overseen by federal or state agencies.

A notable difference is that the STABLE Act prohibits algorithmic stablecoins, which rely on complex algorithms instead of currency reserves. This approach aims to mitigate volatility issues that have previously harmed the market. The GENIUS Act takes a more cautious approach, calling for a study to better understand the dangers associated with these assets.

GENIUS Act and Senator Thune’s Role

Senator Thune’s influence is critical to the GENIUS Act’s success. As Senate Majority Leader, he has authority over bill scheduling, making his support for stablecoin regulation crucial. Thune hopes for a Senate vote on the entire act before Memorial Day, emphasising the importance of the legislation. His leadership is critical in gaining bipartisan support, and while specifics of his views are unclear, his efforts indicate active collaboration to develop a clearer stablecoin regulatory framework.

GENIUS Act and the Broader Implications of Stablecoin Regulation

The GENIUS Act’s potential passage would provide certainty to stablecoin issuers and users, improving institutional confidence and market adoption. Both the GENIUS and STABLE Acts highlight ongoing attempts to protect consumers and prevent instability while fostering innovation in digital payments. With Thune’s support, US stablecoin regulation may soon pave the door for broader crypto asset regulation.

The Global Context

Other major countries are also beginning to regulate stablecoins, including Europe’s MiCA regulation and the United Kingdom’s emerging framework. The US legislation may inspire international cooperation, resulting in a more united approach to governing digital assets. The global reach of U.S. legislation may play an important role in harmonising the regulations and guaranteeing stablecoins’ smooth incorporation across borders.

Conclusion

As the Senate prepares to vote on the GENIUS Act, Thune’s leadership is critical to its success. The bill’s likely adoption would not only regulate stablecoins but also help to build a broader framework for regulating digital assets. With bipartisan backing and growing global cooperation, the United States may soon become a pioneer in stablecoin regulation, influencing the future of digital payments.
