State Leaders Briefings: The GENIUS Act & Stablecoins
“The implications of this legislation cannot be overstated.”
~ Tobi Maier, Esq.
Solari’s monthly online briefings are designed to support state legislators, other elected officials, and engaged citizens working to preserve American freedoms.
The briefing on August 14, 2025, focused on the recent passage of the GENIUS (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins) Act. Catherine and Tobi Maier, Esq. discussed the implications of this bill and how stablecoins have the same potential dangers as CBDCs.
As Maier wrote in his recent article for Solari titled “The GENIUS Act and Its Implications for Financial Transaction Freedom,”
“Programmable money is the key requirement for total control of human behavior…. By design, stablecoins, like CBDCs, not only allow for the complete and permanent documentation of every single transaction, however insignificant, but make it possible to allow or deny individual transactions remotely and automatically, down to the smallest detail…. Although the GENIUS Act does not implement a social credit score system, stablecoins (which the Act codifies) allow for the easy activation of one.”
Be sure to review the additional resources on stablecoins listed below.
