After years of hostility toward crypto, the U.S. passed its first-ever federal law regarding the industry.

The GENIUS Act, stablecoin legislation backed by both parties, was signed by President Trump’s desk after a last-minute showdown in Congress. Despite being seen as a sure thing, the bill’s path turned turbulent this week, with objections from Democrats over Trump’s crypto ties, and a sudden revolt from the Freedom Caucus around anti-CBDC language.

Now that it’s through, what will this law actually do? And who stands to benefit—or lose?

In this episode, Dante Disparte, Circle’s chief strategy officer and one of the key players behind the legislation, joins Unchained to explain:

  • How the bill won bipartisan support despite political tensions

  • Why banks may think twice before issuing stablecoins

  • And why Circle is applying for a national trust bank charter

Plus, the battle over interest-bearing stablecoins, how this bill fits into the broader financial regulatory landscape, and whether U.S. consumers and the dollar come out ahead.
