Structure
Structure of GENIUS Act & U.S. Crypto Regulation Course
This course is split into focused modules designed to give you a clear, practical understanding of how U.S. crypto regulation works, where the GENIUS Act fits, and what its requirements mean for real businesses. Each module builds on the last, helping you connect the wider regulatory landscape to the new federal framework now shaping the industry.
The United States: Political, Economic, and Global Context
Introduces the U.S. political system and federalism, how regulatory authority is split across federal and state levels, and how U.S. economic and institutional models shape rule-making. Connects that structure to why the U.S. acts as a global standard-setter in finance and payments.
State of United States Crypto Regulation & Policy
Maps the pre-election regulatory landscape across FinCEN, OFAC, SEC, CFTC, OCC, the Fed, and state regimes, and how they each influence crypto in practice. Contrasts enforcement-led policy and state experimentation with shifts in posture and priorities across administrations in the Trump era.
GENIUS Act: Background and Policy Context
Explains the global rise of USD stablecoins and the broader trend toward dedicated stablecoin regulation. Connects the international context to U.S. domestic drivers behind the GENIUS Act, including key milestones and the expected implementation timeline.
GENIUS Act: Regulatory Scope
Clarifies what counts as a “payment stablecoin,” who can issue, and how issuance differs from distribution. Covers foreign issuer access, limitations, and how stablecoins may be offered and circulated in the U.S. market.
GENIUS Act: Issuer Requirements
Walks through authorisation and ongoing requirements, including capital and liquidity, reserve asset rules, redemption at par, governance, and risk management. Covers compliance fundamentals like AML/sanctions expectations and operational controls that keep an issuer “in bounds.”
GENIUS Act: Enforcement
Explains who supervises issuers, how examinations and remediation work, and what escalation looks like in practice. Summarises civil and criminal penalties, enforcement triggers, and the toolkit regulators use to intervene before (and after) things go wrong.
