Genius Act seen as milestone for crypto

Scott Bessent described the GENIUS Act as a pivotal moment in American finance, stating that it further establishes the U.S. as the crypto capital of the world. Bessent compared the legislation to President Abraham Lincoln’s National Currency Act of 1863, which set a national standard for bank-issued currency.

Bessent has previously covered regulatory actions affecting U.S. finance. Earlier, he reported that the Treasury and IRS issued guidance targeting tax-driven investment strategies. He also noted that the Treasury returned $175 million in payments slated for deceased individuals and expanded Do Not Pay access to 99% of U.S. agencies.
