The U.S. crypto landscape is at a pivotal crossroads. As Bitcoin surges to new all-time highs, the Trump administration is pushing Congress to finalize historic stablecoin regulations — most notably the GENIUS Act and the STABLE Act. These legislative efforts have ignited a heated debate in Washington and across the industry, promising to bring long-awaited clarity, legitimacy, and opportunity to the digital asset sector.

In the midst of this transformation, GFEX, a decentralized futures platform powered by USDC, stands out as the ideal venue for seizing the moment.

GENIUS Act (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act):

• Creates the first comprehensive federal framework for “payment stablecoins” like USDC.

• Limits issuance to insured banks, credit unions, and federally or state-qualified issuers.

• Requires 100% reserves in cash or U.S. Treasuries, with regular public audits and transparent redemption.

• State-regulated issuers can operate up to $10 billion in outstanding stablecoins before transitioning to federal oversight.

• Stablecoins meeting these standards are not considered securities, thus exempt from SEC jurisdiction.

• Imposes strict anti-money laundering (AML) and compliance standards.

STABLE Act (Stablecoin Transparency and Accountability for a Better Ledger Economy Act):

• Mirrors the GENIUS Act in many respects, including reserve and licensing requirements.

• Allows state-regulated issuers to remain under state supervision without a federal transition threshold.

• Focuses on transparency, consumer protections, and robust compliance.

Why This Matters:These acts are set to legitimize U.S.-issued stablecoins like USDC, foster institutional adoption, and provide a clear legal foundation for digital asset innovation and user protection.

• House and Senate Action: The House is preparing to vote on both the Senate-passed GENIUS Act and the House’s STABLE Act, following the Senate’s bipartisan approval.

• White House Pressure: President Trump and senior officials are pushing for swift passage, aiming for a signature before the August recess.

• Heated Issues: Lawmakers are debating federal vs. state oversight, foreign issuer treatment, consumer protections, and potential conflicts of interest.

• Crypto Week: Dubbed “Crypto Week” on Capitol Hill, Congress is set to debate multiple digital asset bills, including a proposed CBDC ban.
