GENIUS Act Is Reshaping Stablecoin Regulation Fast

[chainsniff]

This update reflects the post-GENIUS Act environment in the US. Since President Trump signed the law in July 2025, regulators have been aligning rules across agencies to create a coherent framework for dollar stablecoins.

Under GENIUS, only fully backed, overcollateralized stablecoins qualify—meaning 1:1 reserves in cash or short-term Treasuries. Algorithmic and synthetic dollars are explicitly out. The CFTC’s move reinforces that stablecoins are being treated less like experimental crypto products and more like regulated payment instruments.
