Congress Passes GENIUS Act in Major Win for US Crypto Industry

The U.S. Congress has passed the GENIUS Act, a significant victory for the cryptocurrency industry. The legislation is expected to pave the way for the launch of a wave of new stablecoins, digital assets pegged to traditional currencies or commodities. The passage of the GENIUS Act comes amid ongoing concerns about President Trump's potential conflicts of interest in the crypto space. Critics argue that the president's past involvement with crypto-related ventures could undermine public trust in the industry's regulation. While the GENIUS Act is seen as a positive step for the crypto industry, it has also sparked fresh debates about the government's role in shaping the future of digital assets. Experts warn that the legislation's impact on consumer protection and market stability will require close monitoring in the months and years ahead.
