U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday endorsed the GENIUS Act, a newly approved Senate bill that aims to create a regulatory framework for stablecoins—digital assets pegged to fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar.

What Is the GENIUS Act?

The GENIUS Act introduces:

Reserve requirements for stablecoin issuers
Mandatory monthly disclosures of reserves
Oversight aimed at enhancing transparency and trust in digital dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies

Trump's Crypto Pivot

Trump, once skeptical of digital assets, urged the Republican-controlled House to act “LIGHTNING FAST” to pass the bill without amendments:

“Get it to my desk, ASAP — NO DELAYS, NO ADD ONS,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

This marks a pro-crypto shift in U.S. leadership and could give Circle's USDC and Tether's USDT more regulatory clarity—potentially bolstering institutional adoption.
