đ Circle & Coinbase Stocks Rocket After U.S. Senate Greenlights Game-Changing Stablecoin Legislation
The crypto world just got its biggest regulatory win yetâand Wall Street is cashing in.
Stablecoins go legit
Circle and Coinbase shares exploded today as the Senate passed landmark legislation bringing stablecoins under federal oversight. Finallyâsome clarity for the $150B shadow banking system crypto built under the SEC's nose.
Market moonshot
Trading floors went berserk as both stocks ripped double-digit gains. Coinbase notched its best day since the 2024 ETF approvals, while Circleâthe company behind USDCâsaw valuation multiples expand faster than a DeFi exploit.
The fine print
The bill creates a federal framework for stablecoin issuers, requiring 1:1 reserves and audits. No more "trust me bro" collateralâunless you're a bank, of course (some loopholes never die).
Cynics' corner: Nothing makes institutional money flood in like watching Congress turn crypto's wild west into a regulated playground. The suits always winâbut at least now they'll pay taxes.

Senator Cynthia Lummis, a vocal advocate for digital assets,the billâs passage as a pivotal moment. âToday brings us one step closer to becoming a welcoming home for digital asset companies,â she said, urging lawmakers to continue the momentum by passing broader market structure reforms.
Though the GENIUS Act has cleared the Senate hurdle, it still needs approval from the House of Representatives before it can be signed into law by President Donald Trump. If passed, the bill WOULD mark the most significant federal legislation for stablecoins to dateâpotentially shaping the future of the $150+ billion industry.
