The GENIUS Act aimed to position the U.S. as a global leader in financial innovation by providing a clear regulatory framework for stablecoins.
Without the GENIUS Act, there is a risk of stablecoin development moving overseas, leaving the U.S. vulnerable to innovation flight.
Bessent highlighted that the Senate's inaction may result in the U.S. losing its competitive edge in the global crypto and stablecoin market, urging for decisive leadership.
