Last month, President Trump signed into law the GENIUS Act, which signals a new era for one type of cryptocurrency in particular: stablecoins. It’s easy to see how these tokens backed by other assets, usually the dollar, could make transactions simpler. But it’s also easy to see how they could pose a threat to the stability of the financial system as we know it.
