About this vote

The GENIUS Act would set up a regulatory framework for payment stablecoins, which are digital assets that the issuer must redeem for a fixed value, and would allow only permitted issuers to issue them. A motion to proceed decides whether the Senate takes up a bill for debate; it was agreed to, so the Senate began considering the bill.
