Mythos vs. Tatsache: The Genius Act | US -amerikanischer Ausschuss für Bankwesen, Wohnungsbau und städtische Angelegenheiten

tldr; The GENIUS Act aims to establish a regulatory framework for payment stablecoins, addressing their current legal grey area. It includes consumer protections, anti-money laundering measures, and safeguards against misuse by criminals. The bill mandates 1:1 reserve backing, transparency through disclosures, and annual audits for large issuers. It prevents destabilizing runs, regulates foreign stablecoin issuers, and ensures ethical compliance. The legislation is the result of bipartisan efforts and extensive consultations with stakeholders.

Tether does not pass any of these requirements and is unlikely to change to fit them:

> * 100% reserve backing with US dollars and short-term Treasuries, or similarly liquid assets as determined by primary regulator.
> * Simple monthly public disclosure of reserve composition.
> * Annual audited financial statements for issuers with more than $50 billion in market capitalization.
