The cryptocurrency industry is experiencing a surge in legislative support following the 2024 election cycle, largely attributed to political spending by crypto super PACs. Since Donald Trump's inauguration, significant changes have occurred, including the Securities and Exchange Commission's decision to drop lawsuits against major firms such as Coinbase and Kraken, which has alleviated legal pressures on the industry. Lawmakers who received support from these super PACs are now advancing pro-digital currency legislation, including the proposed Genius Act. This legislation seeks to establish regulatory frameworks for stablecoin issuers, enforcing requirements such as 1:1 backing, strict anti-money laundering measures, and dual oversight to enhance the security of crypto transactions.
