The GENIUS Act represents the first comprehensive U.S. regulatory framework specifically designed for stablecoins, marking an unprecedented shift from resistance to endorsement by traditional financial powers. The 98% USD-peg dominance reveals how digital currency control is centralizing around sovereign fiat currencies, rather than decentralized cryptocurrencies as previously predicted.
