So, the U.S. has officially passed its first major nationwide crypto law — called the Genius Act. Here's what’s under the hood of the Act:
First the Federal rules clarification. Before this, crypto was mostly regulated at the state or agency level (think SEC, CFTC). The Genius Act sets clear, consistent rules across the whole country.It highlights and clarifies rules around stablecoins. Issuers of stablecoins need to register with the Fed and keep reserves on hand. Essentially, it’s a move to make them as reliable as your typical bank deposits.I was surprised to see consumer protection is in. The Act gives the Consumer Protection Bureau more power over interest-bearing crypto accounts plus stronger protection against shady schemes.
The biggest and most influential aspect is it allows the crypto markets to meet the finance market. Institutional players (banks, CFTC‑regulated platforms) can now offer crypto services without fear. The result, a clearer highway for mainstream finance institutions to dive in. We also got a new licenses which is a national "crypto broker-dealer" license which might roll out, so providers don’t have to juggle state-by-state licensing.
So Why It Matters
To put it simply it matters becuase of these three areas:
Clarity at last – Businesses can finally plan big without legal whiplash.
More trust – Tighter rules and oversight likely mean safer crypto for everyone.
Big-league entry – Traditional financial players can now join the party more confidently.
We will have to see how this new impacts Hive and the broader crypto space.
these crypto bills are gonna make us super rich.
Maybe or it's going to make it more cut throat.
Perhaps, crypto has now become fully legitimize and having a seat and the big league tables. Looking forward to how this will impact the broader crypto space in the mid to long term.
We will see it could also mkae it easier for the big guys to take our money
For sure, I think there will be less outsized returns as we used to know previously because of the big guys entering the space. Maybe also, crime season 2.0 will start :(
I don't really get how they can make issuers of stables to register, look at hive, who will register hbd?
I don't like much banks in crypto, banks are evil
I think we need to start thinking about it if we want to be more mainstream
"Release the crypto hounds!"
Maybe lol
This is quite possibly the one good thing to come out of all this...
Maybe I think the big banks are very cut throat and get a bit of a weird feeling that smaller projects could get snuffed out
Yeah, that could be.
