Senator Bernie Moreno on getting the GENIUS Act passed with President Trump:
"You've seen an incredible amount of innovation grow. You have the dollarization of the world. The feedstock for AI's true potential is crypto – probably stablecoins. So that's happening. Europe was maybe a little ahead of us, now they're way, way behind us...
Give huge credit where credit's due, which is to Bill Hagerty and Cynthia Lummis. They're the ones that really drove that effort. I was their wingman, helping as much as I could.
And now, next week, we get the market structure, get that passed in the Senate, get the House to clear what we passed, and the president signs the market structure bill by July 4th."
–Senator Bernie Moreno with Kristin Smith at the @CoinDesk Consensus Conference 2026
