On July 18, 2025, President Donald Trump signed The Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act into law, a historic leap forward as the United States’ first major cryptocurrency legislation.
With a resounding 308-122 House vote, including 102 Democrats joining most Republicans, this bill establishes a bold regulatory framework for payment stablecoins, which are cryptocurrencies tied to stable assets like the US dollar. After a week of fierce GOP debates that nearly stalled Congress, this victory is a game-changer, unlocking electrifying opportunities for businesses to innovate and thrive.
The GENIUS Act is seen as a seal of approval for crypto. It hands entrepreneurs a golden ticket to become stablecoin issuers, crafting tokens backed one-to-one by low-risk assets.
This means businesses can offer lightning-fast, low-cost payment solutions—perfect for e-commerce, global trade, or remittances. Online, there is significant buzz about how stablecoins slash transaction fees and delays compared to traditional banking, giving startups a competitive edge.
Beyond issuing stablecoins, the Act opens doors for businesses to become digital asset service providers, launching platforms for trading, custody, or wallet services. With stablecoins now mainstream, companies can attract customers craving secure, low-volatility digital transactions.
Despite pending broader crypto regulations, the GENIUS Act’s bipartisan support signals a vibrant future for digital assets, boosting market confidence.
This landmark law empowers entrepreneurs to tap into a multi-trillion-dollar crypto market with newfound legitimacy. Ready to ride this wave of innovation? Enroll in Genius Academy, where you’ll master technologies of the future, including AI and blockchain, in order to revolutionize your business.
