Trump signs 1st major federal cryptocurrency bill into law

UNITED STATES, JUL 18 – The GENIUS Act requires stablecoin issuers to maintain 1:1 reserves and undergo monthly audits, creating a $250 billion federal market with bipartisan support but some Democratic criticism.

  • President Donald Trump signed into law the GENIUS Act, new federal regulations for stablecoins, on Friday in Washington, D.C.
  • This legislation follows the House passing two additional crypto bills Thursday that create a new market structure and ban a Federal Reserve digital currency.
  • At a White House event with around 200 attendees, Trump praised cryptocurrency leaders and stated that supporting the crypto industry benefits both the U.S. dollar and the nation.
  • The GENIUS Act passed both chambers with wide bipartisan support and sets monthly reserve disclosure requirements and consumer protections for stablecoins.
  • This law marks a major step toward legitimizing the crypto industry and aligns with Trump’s goal to make the U.S. the world’s crypto capital.
