You are right that USDT isn't GENIUS-compliant (I am not sure which part isn't), but yes, it isn't. GENIUS applies to the issuer, so with the whole USDT part, I am not sure if they are going to either make it compliant or retire it for USDT, since it is likely the government isn't going to allow them to issue a new one or purchase treasuries firsthand if USDT is an issue.

Seems like Tether does not issue a compliant coin afterall. USAT is issued by Anchorage Digital Bank

Tether owns/licenses the USAT branding and collaborates on the product, but Anchorage's disclosures expressly say Tether has no obligation to issue, redeem, or guarantee USAT. USDT, by contrast, is issued by Tether International, S.A. de C.V., an El Salvador company.
