Ah, the venerable United States Treasury Department, that august institution forever nestled in the labyrinthine halls of bureaucracy, has once again flung open its doors-figuratively speaking-to solicit the whimsical musings of the public regarding the implementation of the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins, affectionately nicknamed the GENIUS Act. Yes, dear reader, what was signed into law in the sultry month of July now demands your wisdom on how to corral these digital dollar darlings into a regulatory embrace.
This enchanting invitation to debate arrives like clockwork, exactly one month after the Treasury’s hot take on “Innovative Methods to Detect Illicit Activity” involving those pesky payment stablecoins-the same digital sprites that dance just beyond the grasp of Uncle Sam’s watchful eye. One can almost hear the Treasury’s whispered plea in the dark: “Tell us your secrets, O bearers of blockchain brilliance.”
A 30-Day Frenzy: Speak Now or Hold Your Crypto Peace
On the gloriously bureaucratic Thursday, the 18th of September, the Treasury unleashed an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM), which, for those suspiciously fond of acronyms, is the official coronation parade inviting the masses to provide comments on how best to wield the mighty GENIUS Act. A veritable smorgasbord of stakeholders-from hedge-fund magicians to basement coders-are beckoned to offer their troves of data and infallible opinions.
The official press release elegantly proclaimed:
“The GENIUS Act tasks the Treasury with issuing regulations that encourage innovation in payment stablecoins while also providing an appropriately tailored regime to protect consumers, mitigate potential illicit finance risks, and address financial stability risks.”
One might wonder if they also seek opinions on how to knit your own stablecoin sweater or perhaps the best way to herd cats with regulatory language. Among the delightful inquiries posed for public consideration: Is there a pressing need for crystal-clear elucidation on how many reserve assets must be locked away in some vault guarded by three dragons-or at least a custodian? And, like a contestant on a game show, participants are asked whether there exist foreign regulatory regimes worthy of comparison to this new American masterpiece.
The Treasury further tickled public fancy with questions on marketing restrictions (because who doesn’t love a good ad ban?), the delicate waltz between state and federal oversight, and the ever-thrilling application of the Bank Secrecy Act, anti-money laundering sorcery, and sanctions wizardry. Do remember! Your golden opportunity to wax poetic in the Federal Register shall expire within a mere 30 days. ⏳
The Senate’s Crypto Circus: Voting Tickets for September
Lo and behold, the GENIUS Act’s passage was heralded as a revolution-or at least a polite reform-in the wild west of American crypto regulation. Now, the Senate readies its next act: a vote on the Responsible Financial Innovation Act of 2025. Yes, that thrilling sequel promises resolution and clarity to the muddled roles various financial agencies play in the crypto colosseum.
Updated script notes include whether blockchain developers should be draped in the majestic robes of financial institutions and if those glittering non-fungible tokens (NFTs)-the sparkly peacocks of the digital realm-might finally be cast as securities. The Senate Banking Committee assures us it has diligently labored to address these pressing questions, no doubt fueled by copious amounts of coffee and existential dread.
