Trump signs GENIUS Act into Law
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: US President Donald Trump today signed into law the GENIUS Act, a landmark bill that establishes a regulatory framework for payment stablecoins, marking a pivotal moment in America’s digital currency policy.
Formally titled the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins Act, the legislation is designed to regulate dollar-backed stablecoins and bolster the US position in the global crypto economy.
“I pledged that we would bring back American liberty and leadership and make the U.S. the crypto capital of the world,” Trump said at the signing ceremony. “The GENIUS Act creates a clear and simple regulatory framework to unleash the immense promise of dollar-backed stablecoins.”
Flanked by crypto industry leaders and Republican lawmakers who sponsored the bill, Trump used the occasion to tout America's return to financial and technological dominance. “They named it after me,” he said.
"This could be perhaps the greatest revolution in financial technology since the birth of the internet itself. A lot of people are saying that," Trump said. "What do you guys think? If you say yes, I'm saying yes."
"Nobody's gained the respect in such a short period of time," Trump said. "This signing is a massive validation of your hard work and your pioneering spirit and your ability to never give up."
The White House, in an official statement, confirmed: “On Friday, July 18, 2025, the President signed into law S.1582, the GENIUS Act, which provides for the regulation of payment stablecoins, and for other purposes.”
