Genius Act & Stablecoins

Our CEO & Co-Founder, Jackie Reses, joined Currency / Live with BVNK’s Chris Harmes to dig into some of the biggest conversations shaping finance and banking today. 

Stablecoins, poised to be in most people’s digital wallets in the near future, are often misunderstood by both banks and consumers. The newly passed GENIUS Act aims to create a safe, consumer-friendly foundation for their use, but the heavy lifting on education and regulation needs to start now. Banks that want to future-proof themselves should start preparing today.

Key takeaways from the conversation: 

  • Banking infrastructure is far more complex than most people realize. 
  • Empowering small businesses with the right tools strengthens entire communities. 
  • Strong, proactive relationships with regulators protect consumers and support the broader ecosystem. 
  • Sound compliance principles + strong technology = lower risk for everyone involved. 

“The level of precision required for banking is super tight — and it should be — because you are moving and holding people’s money.” -  Jackie Reses
