The adoption by the U.S. Congress of stablecoin legislation is likely to become a reality in the coming weeks following action by the Trump administration to establish U.S. leadership in digital assets as a priority. The U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate continue to advance federal stablecoin legislation in two similar bills: the STABLE Act (or the Stablecoin Transparency and Accountability for a Better Ledger Economy Act of 2025, in the House) and the GENIUS Act (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act of 2025, in the Senate). These bills, which emerged on the basis of bipartisan support for federal regulation of the issuance of stablecoins, would serve to establish a novel federal regulatory framework for this particular form of digital asset.

President Donald Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress will have a significant opportunity to utilize the budget reconciliation process to advance their policy priorities in the 119th Congress. Designed to align revenue and spending levels with budget priorities, reconciliation has evolved over the years into a vital procedural tool for enacting transformative policies. Reconciliation allows the majority party in the Senate to bypass the filibuster rules for certain legislative policies, requiring only a simple majority for passage, making it particularly useful when political control of Congress and the White House aligns but does not meet the threshold needed for regular legislative order.
