Yesterday, Donald Trump made a blunt statement, highlighting a critical situation around the GENIUS Act. According to him, this key legislation — intended to reform market structure and strengthen the US position in the global crypto industry — is being sabotaged by banks. The president stressed that such actions are unacceptable, saying, "We will not let this happen. The US needs to complete market structure reform as soon as possible. Americans must get more return on their money."

Trump also warned that if the CLARITY Act — the logical next step after GENIUS — is not passed, the US crypto industry could move to China and other countries. He called GENIUS "the first important step toward making the US the global crypto capital" and emphasized that passing CLARITY is "the next, decisive step that will complete the job and, most importantly, keep this powerful industry onshore."

The president said banks must not sabotage GENIUS or hold CLARITY hostage. He called for a mutually beneficial agreement between financial institutions and the crypto industry, stressing that this is what the American people demand. Concluding his remarks, Trump said it would be wrong to take away an industry that is on the verge of genuine success.
