Insiders whisper the bill's moving faster than a Solana transaction. Critics groan about due process; lobbyists already minting commemorative NFTs.

The real genius play?

Watch where the smart money flows when politicians start 'fixing' innovation. (Spoiler: straight into regulatory arbitrage opportunities.)

“Get it to my desk, ASAP — NO DELAYS, NO ADD ONS,” President Trump further emphasized. “This is American Brilliance at its best, and we are going to show the World how to WIN with Digital Assets like never before!” he added. 

Next up is a House vote, where Republicans hold a narrow majority over Democrats. Supporters of the GENIUS Act argue it is vital for preserving the US dollar’s dominance in global finance.

On June 17, the Senate passed the GENIUS Act with a 68-30 vote. Ahead of the vote, Senator Bill Hagerty, the bill’s sponsor, stated that once the GENIUS Act becomes law, businesses of all sizes, and Americans across the country will be able to settle payments nearly instantaneously rather than waiting for days or sometimes even weeks. 

The Senate approved the GENIUS Act on June 17 with a 68–30 vote, marking a significant step toward establishing a federal framework for payment stablecoins. Prior to the vote, bill sponsor Senator Bill Hagerty noted the legislation’s potential impact, noting that it would allow Americans and businesses nationwide to settle payments almost instantly, eliminating delays that currently stretch into days or even weeks.

Several Democratic lawmakers, including Senators Elizabeth Warren and Mark Warner, have raised concerns about President Trump and his family’s potential financial interests in the cryptocurrency sector. Senator Warren specifically warned that the Trump family stands to gain “hundreds of millions of dollars” from his USD1 stablecoin if the proposed legislation is enacted.

Despite sharing concerns about potential conflicts of interest, Senator Warner acknowledged that the United States cannot afford to remain on the sidelines as the cryptocurrency industry continues to advance.
