The bill, dubbed the GENIUS Act (S.1582), revised in the US Senate, would require foreign-based stablecoin issuers to be subject to American regulations if they provide services to US users. The change could bring Tether, the world’s largest stablecoin issuer, under U.S. regulation for the first time. The law also expands the definition of digital asset service providers to include developers, validator nodes, and self-custody wallet providers. These groups could also have to comply with the Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering (AML) laws. This bill could be a historic turning point for Tether, which has managed to avoid criticism…

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. The price action of Bitcoin over the past week was largely redemptive, as the premier cryptocurrency reclaimed its place above the psychological $100,000 mark.

World Liberty Financial, the Donald Trump-endorsed and Justin Sun-advised cryptocurrency firm, has launched a stablecoin, USD1, that has very quickly become one of the largest in the world. However, despite this multi-billion-dollar growth, the token provides effectively no transparency; no audits, no attestations, not even a transparency webpage that purports to show its holdings. The token is offered in partnership with BitGo, which does have a website page dedicated to the token. However, while the page does claim that the token is “100% backed by short-term US government treasuries, US dollar deposits and other cash equivalents,” it provides no additional…

President Trump just watched his biggest crypto push collapse because of his own wallet. On Thursday, the Senate rejected the GENIUS Act, a bill meant to set federal rules for stablecoins. The vote ended 48-49, with three senators missing. And no, it wasn’t party politics that killed the bill—it was Trump’s personal coin empire blowing everything up from the inside. This should’ve been one of the rare moments where Democrats and Republicans found common ground. Lawmakers had been warming up to the idea of regulating stablecoins, especially after years of gridlock under Biden. But just as the finish line got…

The collapse of a procedural Senate vote on stablecoin legislation (GENIUS Act) Thursday underscores the challenges of keeping cryptocurrency policy bipartisan. Once poised for smooth passage, the bill was derailed after last-minute Democratic objections and a lack of time to review final text — despite ongoing negotiations with Republican leadership. The 48–49 vote, with two Republicans joining Democrats in opposition, highlights deepening divisions over process and trust. While both parties publicly support regulating digital assets, the vote raises questions about whether crypto can remain a nonpartisan issue in a polarized Senate. In March, blockchain and digital asset attorney Marta Belcher…
