Community banks advocate for changes to the GENIUS Act

Community banks are advocating for amendments to the GENIUS Act, expressing that stablecoins can bypass interest bans through third parties. They stress the need for legislation to avoid risks to traditional banking savings and ensure clarity around stablecoin issuer relationships.
