The GENIUS Act is huge for the crypto industry. Robinhood is proud to be a part of the Global Dollar Network and a clear federal framework is vital to our industry as we continue to build and innovate.
The GENIUS Act is a critically important milestone in the transformation of the global payment system and ensures the U.S.'s position in digital asset and payments innovation. Thank you @SenatorHagerty, @SenLummis, @RepFrenchHill and members on both sides of the aisle for driving…

Major day for Global Dollar Network as USDG becomes one of just two global stablecoins that is fully MICA compliant... and the only one with economics are open to all! Global Dollar is a better stablecoin for everyone. @krakenfx @RobinhoodApp @Anchorage @Bullish @okx @Fiserv…
USDG is now MiCA compliant, meaning it's the most regulated stablecoin in the world. 🌎 And it's available across the EU. Over 450M people across 30 countries can now access a truly global dollar.
Who is building the best b2b product that turns any app (think brokerage, neobank, et al) w stablecoin support in to a monetizable payments wallet? Similar to the way debit cards from MC / Visa were layered on top of every fintech or store of value over the last decade. @mdudas…
USDG is now live on @inkonchain. New chain, same mission: a better digital dollar.
Institutions see the value in stablecoins. But the legacy model, where issuers keep all the revenue, doesn’t work for them. That’s why we built the Global Dollar Network. @whessert on stage at @Solana Accelerate, discussing the flaws in the USDC and USDT models.
The shift is happening. “The next 2 billion people on chain will be intermediated by smart wallets and fintech apps.” - @sergiofly, Head of Stablecoins at @Anchorage Digital, from @Solana Accelerate on the future of USDG
Sneaky panel selfie is a great move that I am stealing @sergiofly - always fun talking @global_dollar together w our partners at @solana !!

Spot on @matt_levine
.@matt_levine said it best in Money Stuff: "The old model of stablecoins is a ludicrous business: You take tens of billions of dollars from institutional investors, you invest it however you want, and you keep all the interest. That was great, but it probably can't last."
I agree with @brian_armstrong on legalizing yield bearing stablecoins for Americans! Curious to hear @circle's POV?
