Part 4/13:

How the Genius Act Reshapes the Monetary System

The core of the law mandates that every dollar of stablecoin supply must be backed on a one-to-one basis by short-duration U.S. Treasury bills, cash, or overnight repurchase agreements. It establishes a federal charter for payment stable coin issuers, requiring any entity with over $10 billion in outstanding stablecoins to be under direct supervision by the Treasury, OCC, and FDIC. Significantly, it prohibits paying interest or yields on stablecoins, ensuring issuers retain revenue solely from the spread between Treasury yields and reserve costs.
