BiyaPay Analyst: The first stablecoin law case in US history emerges; Tether will ensure USDT compliance

BlockBeats News, July 22nd, the "GENIUS Act" established the first federal regulatory framework for payment-based stablecoins in the United States, aiming to inject confidence and legitimacy into the $260 billion stablecoin market. The act includes the following key points:

· Asset Backing: Stablecoin issuers must back their stablecoins 1:1 with high-quality liquid assets, compliant assets include US dollars, insured bank deposits, money market funds, etc. USDT does not meet this requirement as its reserves include gold, Bitcoin, and corporate debt.

· Payment Only: The act prohibits paying interest to stablecoin holders, ensuring that stablecoins only serve as digital cash equivalents.

· Transparency and Audit: Issuers must disclose reserve status monthly and undergo audits to ensure market transparency.

· Anti-Money Laundering Measures: The act requires stablecoin issuers to implement strict anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) procedures.

· Regulatory Structure: The act empowers regulatory bodies such as the US Treasury to oversee issuers, ensuring compliant operations.

While Circle's USDC may benefit from meeting the 1:1 backing requirement, Tether (USDT) still has various ways to adjust its compliance and continue operating in the US.
