The U.S. Congress is flirting with crypto’s version of a “ChatGPT moment.” A new bipartisan bill – cheekily named the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act (GENIUS Act) – promises to catapult dollar-backed stablecoins from the fringes of online trading into the mainstream of payments.
