Trump Signs Landmark US Crypto Legislation into Law
- The GENIUS Act emphasizes stablecoin regulation and market structure transformation.
- Stablecoin sector set for exponential growth in liquidity.
- CLARITY Act to potentially redefine token classifications.
President Donald Trump signed the GENIUS Act into law at the White House on July 18, 2025, signaling a structured regulatory framework for the US crypto market.
Trump’s endorsement of the GENIUS Act marks a major shift in US crypto regulation, encouraging institutional participation and stabilizing market perceptions. As President Trump remarked at the signing, “This could be perhaps the greatest revolution in financial technology since the birth of the Internet itself.”
Previously skeptical, Trump now champions crypto as a significant financial technology breakthrough. The GENIUS Act establishes a framework for US dollar-pegged stablecoins, potentially increasing public trust. Trump’s administration positions this as revolutionary, aiming to elevate US presence in the digital asset industry.
Pro-crypto PACs like Fairshake are influential, boasting $141 million in funding for 2026 goals. Market reaction favors stablecoins, with anticipation for the CLARITY Act’s impact on mainstream tokens.
Stablecoin clarity may boost institutional confidence. Attention turns to the Senate for the CLARITY Act, which promises broader asset classification clarity with potential implications for major cryptocurrencies.
The passage of the GENIUS Act and upcoming legislation like the CLARITY Act could shift regulatory landscapes. If successful, major cryptocurrencies might witness categorization changes affecting trading and institutional investments.
