US Senate To Vote On Stablecoin Bill Before Memorial Day

According to a Politico report, Senate Majority Leader John Thune has privately informed GOP Senators that the upper chamber will vote on the landmark stablecoin bill before Memorial Day, which comes up on May 26. The Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act forms part of this administration’s plans to provide regulatory clarity for the crypto industry.

The report noted that the bill will likely draw bipartisan support on the floor of the Senate, considering that five Democrats already voted in support at the Senate Banking Committee level. If passed, this bill could be the first major US crypto legislation, which will represent a massive win for the crypto industry, which has been clamouring for regulatory clarity for a while now.

Pro-crypto Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis also suggested that this report was true, as she reacted to it in an X post. The senator has been vocal about her support for digital assets and recently called out the Federal Reserve for its crypto policy withdrawal.

The leading stablecoin issuer, Tether, will undoubtedly be keeping an eye on whether the stablecoin bill passes or not. As CoinGape reported, the USDT issuer plans to launch a stablecoin exclusively for US clients. The firm’s CEO, Paolo Ardoino, remarked that they are awaiting the new rules for stablecoin regulation before making their next move.

This development also comes amid reports that USDC issuer Circle could go public soon. The stablecoin had initially planned to file an IPO this month, but delayed the plan following Trump’s tariffs, which negatively impacted global markets. The USDC issuer just acquired a license from Abu Dhabi’s financial regulator to operate a money service business.
