GENIUS Act Faces Senate Gridlock as Democrats Push Back Against GOP Revisions

The situation has become even more complex with the ongoing debate over the GENIUS Act, a landmark piece of legislation aimed at establishing federal regulations for stablecoins. This bill has become a flashpoint in the Senate, with bipartisan talks encountering significant hurdles. Politico reported that nine key Senate Democrats voiced opposition to revisions unveiled by GOP lawmakers, creating a roadblock in the negotiations.

The bill seeks to create the first-ever regulatory framework for stablecoins, and its passage is a key priority of Trump’s financial policy agenda. However, Democrats have shown concerns that the revised proposal fails to adequately address issues such as money laundering and the broader risks to the financial system.

Despite this, the ongoing negotiations signal that reaching a consensus on this issue may take more time than initially anticipated.
