Lummis Believes Senators Have Reached Deal on Stablecoin Bill, Expects Votes Next Week
- Senator Cynthia Lummis said lawmakers have nearly finalized revised stablecoin legislation, expecting Senate votes next week on the GENIUS Act.
- The legislative delay followed Democrat objections tied to President Trump's crypto interests, causing a last-week procedural impasse in the Senate.
- The GENIUS Act aims to create a federal regulatory framework for US dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies, including stablecoins like Tether's USDT and Circle's USDC.
- Senator Gillibrand affirmed the bill contains strong ethics and consumer protections but excludes provisions targeting Trump's crypto profits, while Lummis stressed the need to focus on regulation.
- If passed, the legislation could legitimize stablecoins, integrating them into mainstream finance and supporting the dollar's global role, though political risks remain significant.
