GENIUS Act Passage Triggers Stock Rally

Yesterday, the Senate passed the GENIUS Act with overwhelming bipartisan support in a 68-30 vote. While the bill now moves to the House for debate, the Senate’s approval has sparked major interest in stablecoins and their issuers.

Since the historic vote, Ripple, Coinbase, and Gemini have all applauded the Senate for its decision on stablecoin regulation. Experts are predicting meteoric growth in the U.S. stablecoin market following the passage of the GENIUS Act.

Circle, issuer of the USDC stablecoin, is riding the wave of buzz, with its stock soaring to a new all-time high. Across the ecosystem, stablecoin activity is heating up, with Tether minting 1 billion USDT on Ethereum, extending its industry lead.

Outside of CRCL, Coinbase stock has also soared by 11% in an impressive double-digit rally over the past day. Other publicly listed crypto asset managers and treasury firms are also seeing similar surges in their stock prices.
