BREAKING: House Passes GENIUS Act—Stablecoin Legalization Now Imminent

GENIUS Act clears House vote, stablecoin law could pass this week

The crypto regulatory dam is cracking. After years of political gridlock, Washington just took a sledgehammer to the status quo.


Stablecoins Escape Regulatory Purgatory

The House voted overwhelmingly to advance the GENIUS Act, clearing the path for dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies to finally operate within a legal framework. Insiders predict Senate approval within 48 hours—just in time for Wall Street to pretend they always believed in blockchain.


What Changes Today

No more regulatory whack-a-mole for issuers. The bill establishes clear reserve requirements and audit standards, effectively turning stablecoins into the new money market funds (but with 1000% more Twitter hype).


The Real Winners?

Exchanges and institutional traders. With legal clarity comes liquidity—and you can bet the algorithmic trading desks are already recalibrating their arbitrage bots. Retail investors get front-run as usual.

This isn't just policy—it's profit potential crystallizing in real time. The only question now: which legacy finance giant will be first to launch a 'revolutionary' stablecoin product they'll later abandon?

Republicans block the Genesis Act over CBDCs

Earlier in the week, legislators blocked the GENIUS Act and the Clarity Act in a 196–223 vote, largely due to divisions within the Republican camp. Notably, members of the House Freedom Caucus, including Marjorie Taylor Greene, Chip Roy, and Michael Cloud, voted against the bill.

Rep. Greene expressed particular concern over the GENIUS Act. She stated that the act might allow for the creation of a national stablecoin, which could serve as a central bank digital currency. Specifically, she cited concerns over digital freedom and surveillance as the reason that CBDCs should not be allowed in the U.S.

I will not vote for this.

The only way to guarantee a ban on a central bank digital currency is through law.

The GENIUS Act does not ban CBDC or maintain people’s chain of custody.

Greene stated that unless the GENIUS Act banned CBDCs directly, she would not vote for it. Still, the House is also advancing the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, which directly prohibits the U.S. government from issuing programmable money.
