+# GENIUS Act (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins of 2025)
+
+## Overview
+The GENIUS Act is the first comprehensive US stablecoin regulatory framework, signed into law on July 18, 2025. It establishes that payment stablecoins backed 1:1 by cash or short-term US Treasuries are NOT securities, creating the first clear regulatory lane for crypto-native financial infrastructure in the United States.

+extraction_notes: "First US crypto law with explicit non-securities classification. Creates legal precedent for token classification framework. Two claims extracted: (1) legal precedent for distinguishing crypto instruments from securities, (2) implications for DAO/futarchy treasury structures. Three enrichments to existing regulatory and securities classification claims. One new entity (GENIUS Act regulation). Key tension: interest payment prohibition conflicts with DeFi yield models, creating implementation uncertainty despite legal clarity."

 PRIMARY CONNECTION: [[Internet finance is an industry transition from traditional finance where the attractor state replaces intermediaries with programmable coordination and market-tested governance]]
 WHY ARCHIVED: First US crypto law signed — directly reduces the "regulatory uncertainty is primary friction" claim's force; updates the attractor state adjacent-possible sequence
 EXTRACTION HINT: Focus on what this changes for the regulatory landscape discussion — stablecoin clarity is now ACHIEVED, shifting the primary uncertainty to token/securities classification and DAO legal wrappers
