Senator Warren Urges Swift Implementation of the "GENIUS Act" and Highlights Stablecoin Regulatory Gaps

BlockBeats News, October 22: Senator Elizabeth Warren, Ranking Member of the Senate Banking Committee, wrote to Treasury Secretary Yellen urging the prompt implementation of the GENIUS Act and highlighting regulatory gaps. In the letter, Warren stated that the "U.S. Stablecoin Innovation GENIUS Act" represents a "light-touch regulatory framework for crypto banks," and the Treasury Department must take action to implement and enforce the law to minimize significant risks to U.S. financial stability, consumers, taxpayers, and national security. The GENIUS Act, signed into law by Trump in July, requires stablecoins to be fully backed by the U.S. dollar or similar liquid assets, mandates annual audits for issuers with a market cap over $500 billion, and establishes guidance for foreign issuers. Currently, major U.S. agencies are working to implement the law.


One of the Democrats' main concerns is around stablecoins, as Paxos recently accidentally minted $30 trillion worth of PYUSD stablecoins due to a technical issue. Warren commented on this, stating: "This incident demonstrates that operational failures can pose significant risks to issuers, market integrity, and financial stability. The Treasury Department needs to explain to the public how it intends to address these risks and, if unable to do so, clarify what authorizations it would need from Congress."

A certain "countertrading" whale made a third high-buy low-sell move on ETH, buying 7221 ETH at a morning average price of $4036 to chase the price surge.
Stable indicates plans to establish a foundation and will make a major announcement tomorrow.
