Senate Passes Stablecoin Bill in Big Win for Crypto Industry
- The Senate passed the GENIUS Act regulating cryptocurrency with a 68-30 vote on June 17, 2025, in Washington, D.C.
- The bill followed months of negotiation and bipartisan compromise, including key changes by Democrat Ruben Gallego to address consumer protections and limits on stablecoins.
- The legislation creates the first regulatory framework for stablecoin issuers, requires reserve and transparency standards, and prohibits Congress members from issuing payment stablecoins during public service.
- Senator Bill Hagerty called the vote an “inflection point for innovation,” while Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized it for enabling corruption and benefiting Trump’s crypto ventures.
- The bill now moves to the Republican-led House, which is working on parallel legislation, and could reach President Trump's desk for signature, advancing U.S. crypto policy.
