Odaily Planet Daily News One year after the enactment of the US "GENIUS Act," Tether's stablecoin USDT faces a compliance adjustment window of approximately two years. If it fails to meet US stablecoin regulatory requirements in the future, USDT may risk being unable to continue trading on US crypto platforms.
The GENIUS Act requires stablecoin issuers to maintain full reserves, primarily allocated to highly liquid assets such as cash and US Treasury bonds. Tether's latest reserve disclosure shows that USDT reserves still include some assets allocated to precious metals, lending assets, and Bitcoin, which may not comply with the new regulations.
