In this special live edition of Lexline, Carlo—The DeFi Defense Lawyer—breaks down what may be the most consequential week in U.S. crypto policy history. With the GENIUS Act passing the House and headed to President Trump’s desk for signature, we explore what this means for stablecoins, consumers, businesses, banks, and the future of the U.S. dollar.
Carlo dives deep into:
Why the GENIUS Act was necessary despite existing stablecoins like Tether and USDC
How the bill will create a regulated framework for 1:1 USD-backed stablecoins
What this means for banks, merchants, fintechs, and family offices
Why stablecoins could disrupt traditional banking and unlock faster, cheaper, always-on payments
How this supports U.S. Treasury demand and strengthens dollar dominance globally
What comes next: timelines, licensing, adoption—and how to prepare for “Stablecoin Summer”
Whether you're crypto-native or just getting started, this is your roadmap to the biggest financial shift since the birth of the internet.
💡 Get ready. The rails are being rebuilt—and it’s all digital.
