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.
