📢 The GENIUS Act Is Now Law — Here’s What You Need to Know

by Jamie Pantastico | Jul 20, 2025 | Daily Encouragement | 0 comments

On July 18, 2025, the GENIUS Act (S.394) was quietly signed into law, establishing a new federal framework for stablecoin regulation in the United States. This bill was passed with strong bipartisan support—first in the Senate, then the House—and attached (deceptively) to the National Defense Authorization Act to ensure swift passage with minimal debate or public attention.

The law introduces a new class of non-bank digital currency issuers, regulated directly by federal agencies like the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). In short, it lays the legal and technical foundation for a programmable, “traceable”, centralized digital economy—something 

This has sweeping implications:

• Imagine private finance companies—like PayPal, Stripe, or even new government-approved startups like let’s say X—issuing currency that you use to buy groceries, pay rent, or access healthcare.
• Now imagine that every transaction you make is tracked, recorded, and potentially restricted—not by a bank, but by a federal regulator (overseer) with direct authority.

This isn’t just about currency. It’s about power.

Scripture Has Already Told Us Where This Leads

You don’t have to be a prophecy expert to see the writing on the wall. This is exactly what God’s Word has forewarned.

A Global System of Control

Revelation 13:7 — “And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation.”
 

Revelation 13:17 — “No one may buy or sell except one who has the mark…”

In order for this level of control to be possible, the world must first be conditioned to accept digitally governed commerce, compliance-based finance, and centralized currency systems.

We’re not there yet. But we are closer than ever.

Bible prophecy has warned about for centuries.

This isn’t speculation. This isn’t coming.
It’s here. It’s law. And it changes everything for everyone.

This 2-part series explains:

• What the GENIUS Act really does
• Why it matters prophetically
• What you can do now to stay informed and grounded in God’s Word

Let’s walk through this together.

❗What This Means Right Now

There are no more legislative steps. The GENIUS Act is Public Law. Here’s what comes next:

🏛️ Regulatory Frameworks

Agencies like:

• OCC (Office of the Comptroller of the Currency)
• Federal Reserve
• FDIC
• NCUA

…will now begin drafting rules and oversight protocols for stablecoin issuers.

🏢 Issuer Registration & Compliance

Any company issuing dollar-backed digital assets must:

• Apply as a “permitted payment stablecoin issuer”
• Hold 1:1 reserves
• Submit to regular audits
• Meet strict anti-money laundering protocols

⏳ Transition Periods

Some portions of the law include 3-year grace periods, during which non-compliant stablecoins will be phased out and new rules fully enforced.

Prophetic Reflection

If you’ve followed Bible prophecy for any length of time, you can feel the weight of this moment. This is no longer theory—it’s legislative reality.

“No one may buy or sell except one who has the mark…”
—Revelation 13:17

This law builds the infrastructure for that kind of system:

• Programmable money
• Regulated access
• Global alignment

And it has now been made lawful in the United States.

🛡️ What You Can Do Now

👁️ 1. Watch Upcoming Rulemaking

Federal agencies will soon release draft rules—read them, share them, and submit comments. This is the time to speak up before full implementation rolls out.

🔔 2. Stay Informed

Sign up for legislative updates at:

• Congress.gov
• LegiScan

The GENIUS Act is now Public Law. Monitoring the rollout is essential.

🗣️ 3. Engage Your Community

Talk about this. Most people have no idea it even passed. Many will laugh—until they look it up and realize it’s real. Be the one who tells them the truth—with boldness and clarity.

“Be sober, be vigilant… because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”
—1 Peter 5:8

“And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep…”
