GENIUS Signed Into Law: A New Era Begins for Stablecoins and U.S. Market Leadership

A pivotal moment for crypto in the US. With the GENIUS Act signed into law, stablecoins finally have clear rules and the path is open for compliant innovation.

On Friday, President Trump signed the GENIUS Act into law, a landmark bill to regulate cryptocurrency after it passed through the House and Senate. U.S. crypto regulation just took a major leap forward. The rules are real, and innovation can accelerate.

Blockdaemon is proud to have been present for this pivotal milestone. Our CEO and Founder, Konstantin Richter, joined lawmakers and industry leaders at the White House on Friday for the signing ceremony, underscoring our deep commitment to building the secure, scalable infrastructure that powers compliant, next generation crypto servicers. 

The GENIUS Act sets foundational rules for fiat-backed stablecoins, requiring 1:1 reserves, monthly public disclosures, and robust consumer protections. Its bipartisan passage through the House and Senate signals growing consensus that proactive legislation, not enforcement-first ambiguity, is the path forward.

The momentum continues with the CLARITY Act, which addresses one of the industry's biggest pain points; defining when a digital asset is a security vs. a commodity. Together, these bills form the clearest regulatory roadmap the U.S. crypto ecosystem has ever seen.  

This is the regulatory foundation institutions have been waiting for. For infrastructure providers like Blockdaemon, it’s a green light to scale responsibly and confidently with clear compliance expectations.

Last week's signing doesn’t mark policy progress-it signals that the U.S. is ready to lead. With the GENIUS Act signed into law and the CLARITY Act gaining traction, America now has a real shot at leading the next era of the internet and the chance to shape the future of crypto from a position of strength, trust, and transparency.
