If ever there was a donnybrook to set the stately halls of Washington aflutter, it’s the latest escapade featuring Senator Elizabeth Warren, the GENIUS Act, and Trump’s much-ballyhooed USD1 stablecoin. Picture, if you will, Aunt Agatha brandishing a financial newspaper and screaming, “Bertie, what is this about illicit windfalls?” Then replace Bertie with Trump, and you get the general idea.
Elizabeth Warren Levels Her Eyebrow At GENIUS
Donald Trump, never a chap to let a dull Tuesday pass without fanfare, unfurled stablecoin legislation with all the brass-band enthusiasm of a man launching the HMS Titanic. Almost on cue, in wafted Senator Warren, keen-eyed and unamused, pointing out that the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act—which once sparkled with bipartisan support—looked suspiciously like a “Get Rich Quick (and Possibly Illegally)” kit for the USD1 stablecoin.
In the curious bazaar of social media (known to you and me as X, and to our grandparents as “What?”), Warren has been poking holes in the bill like an over-caffeinated hedgehog on a balloon. Her contention: passing this legislation would stuff the Trump-backed World Liberty Financial (WLFI) coffers to bursting, all thanks to a cozy arrangement with those cash-happy Emiratis at MGX. The plan? Use USD1 to seal a $2 billion Binance deal, which, in financial circles, is known as “a whopping great sum.”
This little arrangement had USD1 trading like hot scones at a vicar’s tea—and with a market capitalization jump, no less. Now, Warren’s holding up her warning flag before the Senate, declaring, “Not so fast—we’d rather not fund the next episode of Corruption: International Edition!”
“The Trump family stablecoin surged to 7th largest in the world because of a shady crypto deal with the United Arab Emirates – a foreign government that will give them a crazy amount of money,” remarked Warren, perhaps while dialing her local exorcist. “The Senate shouldn’t pass a crypto bill this week to facilitate this kind of corruption.” 🕵️♂️💸
With the air suddenly thick with the scent of burning bridges, a round dozen senators dashed away from the GENIUS Act, clutching their anti-money laundering talking points and muttering about national security like a regiment of nervous aunts.
WLFI’s Exchange Listing Hits A Snag (Tea Spilled, Monocles Lost)
The Trump camp had all but set up the bunting, expecting the GENIUS Act to parade through Congress and take a bow in May. Enter Elizabeth Warren and her merry band of naysayers, and the parade is now mostly people wandering in circles, playing sad trombone music.
With the sands shifting beneath their feet, the Trump aficionados at WLFI have taken to twiddling their thumbs and putting their plans for centralized exchange listings on the back burner, waiting for regulatory clarity. (Translation: “We’re not quite sure if this is legal, so we’ll just…wait here.”)
Meanwhile, USD1 is left desperately trying to overtake Tether—a task not unlike racing a penny-farthing against a Lamborghini, but with fewer brakes and more legal advice.
