Summary
- The GENIUS Act — the first comprehensive US law regulating stablecoins — was enacted July 18, 2025, and moved into agency rulemaking through 2026.
- It bars anyone but a 'permitted payment stablecoin issuer' from issuing stablecoins in the US; Treasury/FinCEN, OFAC and the OCC issued proposed anti-money-laundering and issuance rules.
- The law takes full effect in January 2027, though critics warn its guardrails could still leave openings to exploit.
The question
