GENIUS Act Signed: Stablecoins Get a Green Light for Business Growth
By Stephanie Covey | Business, Markets, USA | July 22, 2025
Is your business ready to leverage the new era of regulated stablecoins?
On July 18, 2025, President Donald Trump signed the GENIUS Act into law, a historic milestone for cryptocurrency in the U.S. Passed by the Senate (68-30) on June 17 and the House (308-122) on July 17, the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act establishes the first federal framework for payment stablecoins—digital assets pegged to the U.S. dollar. The law mandates:
- 1:1 reserve backing with USD or liquid assets like Treasuries
- Monthly audits for transparency
- Clear redemption rights for users
This ensures trust and stability for stablecoins. The GENIUS Act enables businesses to adopt stablecoins with confidence, backed by oversight from federal regulators like the Federal Reserve and OCC (or state regulators for issuers under $10 billion). Circle’s recent IPO, raising $1.05 billion, highlights market trust in regulated digital assets. Consumer protections, including bans on misleading marketing and bankruptcy priority for stablecoin holders, make these assets safer for corporate use.

Stablecoins can transform your business by enabling:
- Streamlined payments for faster transactions
