Bill

SAFER Act of 2026

Details

This legislation prevents states from prematurely seizing digital assets, securities, and investment accounts under unclaimed property or escheatment laws.

By establishing federal standards and preempting conflicting state laws, the bill safeguards digital asset holdings from premature liquidation.

GENIUS Act

The GENIUS Act of 2025 proposes a regulatory framework for payment stablecoins. It defines permitted issuers (insured depository institutions, their subsidiaries, and approved nonbank entities) and mandates 1:1 reserve backing with specific high-quality assets. The bill outlines federal and state regulatory oversight options, sets requirements for customer asset segregation, and grants stablecoin holders priority in insolvency proceedings.
