Warren: GENIUS Act is a Masterpiece of Disaster

Have you ever noticed that some laws look like they were written by a caffeinated toddler? Enter the GENIUS Act—a bill so “innovative” that Senator Elizabeth Warren has declared it “worse than nothing.” Picture this: a regulation that’s supposed to rein in crypto but ends up handing the crypto lobby a megaphone to re-enact the very deregulation that doomed us in 2008. Talk about déjà vu! 😂

Under the pretense of “regulating” stablecoins, this bipartisan baby sailed through Congress. Yet, as Warren points out, it’s like handing the keys to the kingdom to Trump’s cronies—allowing the very people who crafted the bill to police themselves. It’s as if we’re back in the early 2000s, only now the “innovative” USD1 stablecoin market is under the watch of Trump-affiliated entities. Because nothing says “secure” like letting your own friends decide what’s best for the national economy. 🙄

Warren then makes a not-so-flattering comparison between today’s crypto deregulation and the pre-2008 frenzy. Remember when deregulation was the trend du jour and investors designed a system that favored big banks over everyday folks? Well, it looks like the crypto world is about to take a trip down memory lane—with a twist. The GENIUS Act could pave the way for Big Tech and billionaires to launch their own stablecoins, complete with the power to snoop on your data and tilt the market in their favor. It’s like a financial horror story that makes you wonder, “Did anyone learn anything from 2008?”

And then there’s the controversy over that Trump-linked USD1 stablecoin deal. Imagine a deal involving World Liberty Financial (co-founded by Eric Trump) and investors connected to Abu Dhabi. According to Warren, this setup not only makes USD1 look like the “best” stablecoin out there but also sounds the alarm on national security. It’s like inviting a bull into a china shop—if that bull happens to be a foreign government with a taste for crypto mischief. And to top it off, the bill supposedly lacks the proper anti-money laundering safeguards, making it a sketchy crypto deal in need of congressional intervention.

Finally, the Senate’s procedural stamp of approval has only deepened the political rift. Democrats like Warren and Maxine Waters are sounding the alarm, accusing the legislation of enabling crypto corruption that benefits the Trump camp at the expense of everyday Americans. It’s a high-stakes game of Monopoly where real money—and our national economy—is on the line. Sometimes, it really does feel like our lawmakers are testing to see how much chaos one can muster before the whole system collapses. And honestly, the show must go on.
