DEF is pleased to share the following statement regarding President Trump signing the GENIUS Act into law.

“Today, the first-ever major U.S. digital asset legislation will be signed into law by President Trump - the GENIUS Act, which creates clear rules for stablecoin issuers. This is an historic moment for the United States and a major step toward cementing U.S. leadership in financial and technological innovation. The new stablecoin framework is the first tailored regulatory structure for digital assets in our nation’s history. It brings long-needed clarity for stablecoin issuers while properly distinguishing between centralized and decentralized systems and technologies. This milestone would not have been possible without the bipartisan leadership of the bill’s sponsors and the tireless work of staff in both chambers. The DeFi Education Fund applauds this achievement and remains committed to supporting lawmakers and regulators as they continue to navigate the evolving digital asset landscape.”
