President Donald Trump signed the first federal bill to regulate stablecoins, hailing it as a “giant step to cement American dominance of global finance and crypto technology” and delivering a major victory for the digital asset industry.

President Donald Trump has signed the GENIUS Act into law, setting new regulations for stablecoins, a type of cryptocurrency tied to assets like the U.S. dollar.

As Trump prepares to sign the law, Consumer Reports' senior director monitoring digital marketplaces, Delicia Hand, told Ars that the group plans to work with other consumer advocates and the implementing regulator to try to close any gaps in the stablecoin legislation that would leave Americans vulnerable.
