What if every blockchain transaction required government approval?
That’s not science fiction—it’s a real proposal from the U.S. Treasury under the GENIUS Act of 2025.

The shocking scope of the GENIUS Act

How protocol-level surveillance would work

Why pseudonymity and financial sovereignty are at risk

What this means for developers, users, and the global crypto ecosystem

This isn’t about crime. It’s about control.
It’s about whether DeFi remains an open frontier—or becomes a digital replica of the banking system.
