The U.S. Senate is moving ahead with regulating the new stablecoin industry with the progress of the GENIUS Act.

Though a majority of members of the US Senate voted to advance a bill to regulate payment stablecoins on May 20, high-ranking Democrats are planning to propose an amendment to the legislation to address President Donald Trump’s connections to the cryptocurrency industry.

The U.S. Senate voted 66–32 on Monday to advance the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act

The Stablecoin bill, also known as GENIUS Act, is one step closer to becoming law, after the US Senate voted in favor of amending the bill.

If passed into law, the GENIUS Act would establish the first comprehensive federal rules for stablecoin issuance, transparency, and reserve requirements.

Sen. Bill Hagerty said recently that the GENIUS Act, which would pave the way for stablecoin adoption, could bolster U.S. Treasuries.
