She said that if the GENIUS Act is passed without making any important changes,  then it would allow President Donald Trump and his family to make personal profits from the Cryptocurrency deals that are connected to foreign governments.

Senator Elizabeth Warren is particularly worried about the USD1 stablecoin, which is backed by Trump and is issued by World Liberty Financial, which is a company that was started by Eric Trump and crypto investor Zach Witkoff.

The stablecoin has quickly grown and has become the 7th largest in the world because of its major and controversial deal with MGX, which is a UAE-based firm and is also supported by the government’s wealth fund of Abu Dhabi.

On X, Warren strongly criticized the deal in a post; she said that the Trump family’s stablecoin has become the 7th biggest in the world because of a suspicious crypto deal made with the United Arab Emirates.

This deal has given them a huge amount of money. The Senate should not approve a crypto law this week, which will allow this kind of corruption to happen.

The GENIUS Act Under Fire

The GENIUS Act, which is officially called the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoin Act, was designed to set clear rules for the stablecoin in the U.S. It was started with the support from Republicans as well as Democrats, but the recent controversies have caused split in this support.

Senator Elizabeth Warren has strongly opposed this bill and said that it does not do enough to stop money laundering, foreign control, and politicians from making money for themselves. She tried to add stricter rules, but those changes were not accepted during the committee process.

Trump Dismisses Concerns

President Trump is now supporting Cryptocurrency, but there was once a time when he was against it, and he now has dismissed the worry about his family’s role in the industry. In an interview with Meet the Press, he denied that he is not directly involved with the USD1 stablecoin.

He called the stablecoin project a patriotic action and said that if it is not done by us, then China will do it. He also mentioned that millions of Americans support Cryptocurrency and suggested that the criticism from Democrats was motivated by politics.

Conclusion 

This week, the Senate is getting ready to vote on the GENIUS Act, and Elizabeth Warren is taking a strong stand against what she calls a scam. Warren has turned the technical policy issue into a major political debate by highlighting the Trump family’s financial connection and foreign funds.
