Case Study

Supporting Blockchain Clients Through the GENIUS Act

  • Background

    ‍    The FS Vector team advises a range of blockchain and digital asset companies navigating the fast-changing regulatory environment in Washington. During the development and passage of the GENIUS Act, we served as a trusted policy and strategic partner to clients seeking clarity and influence in this critical legislation.
  • ‍Approach

    ‍    Throughout the legislative process, our team provided real-time monitoring and analysis, issuing multiple updates each week on evolving bill language and committee negotiations. We facilitated direct engagement between clients and key congressional offices on both sides of the aisle, including members and staff from the House Financial Services Committee (HFSC) and Senate Banking Committee (SBC).
  • ‍Beyond Capitol Hill, we also coordinated client input to Treasury and other federal agencies, ensuring that perspectives from leading blockchain innovators were reflected in the policy debate. Our team drafted briefs and memos analyzing key provisions—such as the prohibition on interest—which remains an area of ongoing regulatory discussion.
  • ‍Outcome

    ‍    Following the passage of the GENIUS Act, our work shifted to implementation and regulatory follow-through. We continue to track forthcoming rulemakings, deadlines, and guidance, advising clients on compliance implications and strategic positioning. In parallel, we monitor international ripple effects of the Act—particularly its influence on stablecoin and digital asset policy debates in the UK, EU, and APAC.
  • ‍‍Impact

    ‍    Through consistent intelligence, tailored policy engagement, and cross-jurisdictional insight, we have enabled our blockchain clients to anticipate changes, engage effectively with policymakers, and align their strategies with the next phase of digital asset regulation.
