Genius announced its first-season airdrop plan, which will distribute 70M GENIUS. Users can choose to claim immediately or lock it up for one year. Immediate claiming will face a 70% burn penalty, while locking up can receive 100% allocation. This mechanism is designed to attract long-term community members and prevent short-term speculation.

The U.S. Treasury plans to jointly issue new regulations requiring stablecoin issuers to establish anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance systems to address suspicious transactions and comply with the Bank Secrecy Act. This move is intended to advance the implementation of the GENIUS Act, which is expected to take effect in 2027.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has introduced new regulations that bring stablecoin oversight closer to the bank model, requiring issuers to hold safe assets and allowing them to be redeemed on a 1:1 basis. This change strengthens the link between stablecoins and traditional finance, improving transparency and safety, and is expected to attract more institutional investors while promoting the integration of cryptocurrencies with traditional finance.

Gate News message, April 7, a16z crypto data and fund strategy lead Daren Matsuoka posted on X that stablecoin trading volume has continued to grow for 10 straight quarters, and the growth accelerated after the “GENIUS Act” (the U.S. stablecoin regulatory bill) was introduced.

Genius has published a new prediction event. Data shows that the probability that FDV exceeds $100 million after one day from opening is 74%, and the probability that it exceeds $200 million is 33%. At the same time, Genius announced it will complete the TGE by April 12, with a total airdrop amount of 70 million tokens.

Bitcoin’s hot-holdings trend is cooling off, as multiple companies and governments sell off their reserves, causing market volatility to increase. Companies such as Empery Digital and Genius Group have already cleared their bitcoin reserves, while Riot Platforms continues to reduce its holdings. Despite worries raised by the selloffs, the public vault still holds a large amount of bitcoin. The current bitcoin price is about $66,500, and market sentiment remains weak.

Genius Group announced that it will sell all its Bitcoin in the first quarter of 2026 to repay a $8.5 million debt, bringing its holdings to zero; this move contradicts its 2024 commitment to a “Bitcoin-first” strategy. Other companies such as MARA Holdings and Bitdeer have also continued to sell Bitcoin to meet financial needs.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury issued the broad principles of Section 4(c) of the GENIUS Act, which require that state-level regulation be materially similar to the federal framework, including consistency of standards and requirements that allow adjustments based on local circumstances. It applies to state-qualified issuers of payment stablecoins with issuance of no more than $10 billion.

Genius Group (GNS) releases its Q1 2026 earnings report. The report shows the company has sold all its Bitcoin reserves and fully repaid about $8.5 million in debt. It plans to restart Bitcoin reserves after market conditions improve. In terms of financial performance, revenue was $3.3 million, up 171% year over year; gross profit was $2.0 million, up 228%.
