The recent delay of the GENIUS Act in Senate has opened discussions about stablecoin evolution and yield democratization.​ While regulators focus on payment-centric, custodial frameworks, innovation continues in non-custodial and yield-generating solutions.​

Key points:

  • Americans have lost ~30% of savings value to inflation in 5 years
  • Non-custodial stablecoins already provide essential financial services globally
  • Solutions like Nuon offer liquid yields without waiting for regulatory clarity

The failed first Senate vote suggests potential for on-chain yield democratization remains viable.​ This development comes as Nuon integrates with TRUF Network for enhanced data security and AI capabilities.​

The GENIUS Act’s recent delay highlights an important discussion: how will stablecoins evolve and will their immense potential to produce yields be democratized or siloed? While regulation explores frameworks for payment-focused, custodial models, innovation continues on the

Good to see the Senate finally voting on stablecoin legislation. It’s a first round to the negotiation, and I expect there will be another vote early next week after more debate. Frankly, the bill still needs some work (like fixing the prohibition on yield and interest which
