April 2 — The U.S. Treasury Department has officially launched implementation efforts for the stablecoin-focused "GENIUS Act," releasing an 87-page proposed rulemaking notice as the Act’s first implementing regulation, with a 60-day public comment period.

The Treasury will use this notice to establish general principles defining "substantial similarity."

On April 2, Bloomberg reported that the U.S. Supreme Court has cast doubt on former President Donald Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship, suggesting a key component of his immigration agenda may be struck down. Trump sat in the front row of the courtroom during oral arguments. Trump has long argued that the current U.S. birthright citizenship system is widely abused and represents a major loophole in the country’s immigration framework. He has repeatedly stated publicly that birthright citizenship—under which anyone born on U.S. soil automatically receives U.S. citizenship—is not a “gift” for illegal immigrants or temporary visitors, but was established post-Civil War to protect the descendants of enslaved people. Per monitoring by PolyBeats (via the link [https://t.me/PolyBeats_Bot]), the probability on the prediction market Polymarket that the U.S. Supreme Court will overturn Trump’s executive order related to birthright citizenship has risen from 81% to 95%.
