The U.S. Senate has passed the GENIUS Act to regulate stablecoins, marking a significant step in federal cryptocurrency legislation. With bipartisan support, the bill aims to set a framework for dollar-pegged crypto tokens, requiring them to be fully backed by U.S. dollars and mandating audits for larger issuers. The focus now shifts to the House of Representatives, which will decide whether to adopt the Senate's bill or pursue its own legislation.
