GENIUS Act accelerates federal stablecoin rules to shore up the dollar

Treasury officials say clearer standards will boost regulatory certainty for stablecoin issuers and financial institutions while helping maintain the U.S. dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency and keeping America at the forefront of crypto adoption.
