Senate Stablecoin Bill Faces Legislative Hurdles as GENIUS Act Stalls
The U.S. crypto industry’s push for regulatory clarity on stablecoins has hit a roadblock.

The legislation’s stagnation reflects broader challenges in cryptocurrency regulation, despite the sector’s increased political influence. Market participants now face continued uncertainty around stablecoin operations in the U.S.
