> Trump signed the GENIUS Act, which regulates stablecoins, in 2025: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GENIUS_Act

How did the GENIUS Act affect Trump's private profit stablecoin?

>> The Impact on USD1: Since World Liberty Financial cannot pay interest to you [due to the GENIUS Act], they are allowed to keep nearly 100% of the interest generated by the U.S. Treasuries backing the coin. This effectively protects the 75% revenue share for Trump-affiliated entities by ensuring that yield stays at the protocol level (where the family collects it) rather than being distributed to the users.
