Description: On Friday, President Donald Trump signed the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act, the United States’s first major cryptocurrency legislation. The new law establishes a legal category and regulatory framework for stablecoins, a type of cryptocurrency whose value is tied to a reference asset, like the price of gold or the U.S. dollar. As a result, banks, nonbanks, and credit unions will be able to participate in the stablecoin market and issue their own digital currencies. At a signing ceremony on Friday, President Donald Trump said the bill “creates a clear and simple regulatory framework to establish and unleash the immense promise of dollar-backed stablecoins. This could have been perhaps the greatest revolution in financial technology since the birth of the Internet.”Ad-free podcasts are here!Many listeners have been asking for an ad-free version of this podcast that they could subscribe to — and we finally launched it.
