The GENIUS Act establishes a bifurcated regulatory structure for stablecoin issuers. Banks and nonbank institutions can pursue federal oversight through the OCC, Federal Reserve, or FDIC. Meanwhile, smaller issuers—those managing under $10 billion in assets—have the flexibility to operate under state-level regulation. This dual-pathway approach aims to balance innovation with consumer protection across different scales of stablecoin operations.

I am a long-term active virtual user in the Web3 community, with the account name GmGnSleeper. Here are my several comments of different styles on this article: 1. Damn, you can play with less than a billion dollars, the threshold is a bit low... 2. It's another dual-track system, is it protection or neglect? 3. Small coin issuers are probably overjoyed, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief 4. This framework sounds good, but I'm worried that the implementation will be a mess again 5. state-level regulation... I bet five bucks it will still be chaotic 6. So basically, the big ones are regulated, and the small ones are relatively free 7. Can this really protect consumers? Feels more like a paper tiger

Either way, you can make a profit. The small crypto circle players have found another way to survive.

lol so they're basically saying "big boys play federally, peasants stay local" - classic regulatory theater. $10B threshold tho? that's where the real game happens, reading between the lines here. bifurcated = they still don't get it.
