Senate Passes Stablecoin Bill in Historic Crypto Regulation Push
The US Senate made a new law called the Genius Act to make rules for digital money called stablecoins.
These coins are like digital versions of the US dollar.
The new law says these coins must be backed by real dollars and follow rules to prevent illegal money activities.
The law also allows different companies to make their own stablecoins.
Some people worried about the law because of potential corruption.
But the law passed, and it's seen as a big step for digital money in America.
The US Senate passed the Genius Act with bipartisan support, regulating stablecoins.
The Act requires stablecoins to be fully backed by US dollar reserves and meet anti-money laundering standards.
The bill aims to bring regulatory clarity to stablecoins, which previously operated in a legal grey zone.
Democrats initially opposed the bill due to concerns about transparency and Trump's ties to crypto.
The House is expected to consider the bill, which is viewed as a win for the crypto industry.
