The GENIUS Act is a new U.S. Senate bill that creates federal regulations for stablecoins, requiring issuers to hold 1:1 reserves and undergo audits. While supporters say it will protect consumers and legitimise stablecoins in the financial system, critics like Bitcoin advocate Max Keiser argue it actually reinforces the traditional fiat banking system. Keiser claims stablecoins act as a “fiat slavery tool,” strengthening the dominance of the U.S. dollar and banks rather than promoting true cryptocurrency freedom and decentralisation. Concerns also exist about potential conflicts of interest involving political figures linked to stablecoin issuers. Overall, the bill is seen as a double-edged sword: regulatory clarity on one hand, but possible deeper entrenchment of fiat control on the other.
