Senate Blocks Stablecoin Regulation Bill Amid Partisan Clash Over Crypto

The U.S. Senate failed to advance the GENIUS Act, a pivotal stablecoin regulation bill, after a 48-49 vote fell short of the 60-vote threshold required. The legislation aimed to establish oversight for the $246 billion stablecoin market but faced fierce opposition from Democrats concerned about inadequate consumer protections and national security risks.

Partisan tensions flared further as President Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency ventures became a focal point in the debate. The rejection marks a significant setback for crypto regulatory efforts, leaving the industry in limbo amid growing political polarization.
