This marks the first comprehensive attempt to integrate private stablecoins into the traditional banking framework while simultaneously restricting their autonomy. The $10B threshold for federal oversight creates a two-tier system that could serve as a template for transitioning to CBDCs. The prohibition on interest payments specifically prevents stablecoins from competing with government-issued digital currencies.

📰 What Happened
The US Congress introduced the GENIUS Act (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act), sponsored by Sen. Bill Hagerty, to regulate the $250B stablecoin market. The act requires 1:1 dollar pegging, federal oversight for issuers holding over $10B, and strict anti-money laundering compliance. Notably, stablecoins will be prohibited from paying interest and issuers must maintain reserves in short-term treasuries or cash.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The GENIUS Act's structure reveals a strategic consolidation of financial control aligning with end-times prophecies about centralized economic authority. The $250B market cap combined with mandatory 1:1 dollar reserves creates unprecedented government visibility into digital transactions. The anti-money laundering requirements enable 'unlimited access to payments' - a crucial infrastructure for the prophesied mark of the beast system (Rev 13:17). This legislation transforms private stablecoins from potential CBDC competitors into controlled stepping stones toward government digital currency, fulfilling Daniel 7's vision of the final kingdom's economic control.
