After more than a decade of regulatory ambiguity, US lawmakers are opening federal doors to the stablecoin market. The Senate Banking Committee has tabled the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act, a bipartisan bill that could establish a clear framework for dollar-pegged digital tokens. Stablecoins seem “safe,” but to thousands of crypto fraud victims, anything involving crypto is a hard pass. The legislation, led by Senator Bill Hagerty and co-sponsored by a cross-party coalition, is the Trump administration’s most profound attempt to impose oversight on the industry, accused of operating in a legal gray area. Still,…

Not many posts from 2013 still get circulated in crypto circles in 2025, but one that did this week comes from a well-known figure – Adam Back – and it is getting attention for one reason: it still reads like something someone would post today.

Both the U.S. Senate and House are considering bills creating a regulatory framework for stablecoins, and all of the usual crypto-skeptic refrains have been sung, including the hymn that crypto is for crime. For instance, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) warned that the Senate’s GENIUS Act “will supercharge the financing of terrorism.” During debate on the House’s STABLE Act, Representative Brad Sherman (D-CA) worried about the use of “unhosted wallets to evade” anti-money laundering provisions. Not surprisingly, both the GENIUS and STABLE Acts include significant sections on illicit finance, including subjecting stablecoin issuers to the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA). But lawmakers…
