GOP Forces Vote on Stablecoin GENIUS Act Amid Democratic Backlash

Republicans are pushing forward with plans to bring the GENIUS Act to a floor vote this Thursday, despite losing Democratic support for the stablecoin legislation. The bill aims to establish federal oversight for payment-focused stablecoins and set transparency standards in digital asset markets.

Originally framed as a measure to foster innovation and maintain U.S. competitiveness in crypto, the GOP’s fast-track maneuver triggered a withdrawal of support from nine Senate Democrats over the weekend. The move follows Majority Leader John Thune’s decision to bypass further committee revisions.
