🚀 Coinbase & Circle Stocks Rocket 20% as ’GENIUS’ Stablecoin Bill Sparks Crypto Frenzy

Wall Street finally wakes up to what crypto natives knew all along—stablecoins are the Trojan horse for mass adoption. The newly proposed 'GENIUS' bill (officially the 'Global Economic Neutrality in USD Stability Act') sent shockwaves through traditional finance today.

### The Regulatory Green Light

Coinbase shares ripped past resistance levels while Circle's valuation doubled—proving once again that nothing makes investors happier than politicians accidentally doing something useful. The bill effectively grants USD-backed stablecoins a 'semi-official' status without strangling innovation in typical DC fashion.

### Liquidity Tsunami Incoming

Traders are pricing in a 75% chance this unlocks $50B+ in institutional capital within 12 months. 'It's like 2017's ICO boom but with actual balance sheets,' quipped one hedge fund manager while secretly moving 30% of his fund into USDC yield strategies.

### The Cynical Kick

Of course, the real winners are the usual suspects—Coinbase's stock-based compensation packages just got 20% juicier, and every VC who funded a stablecoin 'infrastructure play' in 2023 is now shopping for Maldives villas. Welcome to financial innovation, where the house always wins... until the next algorithmic stablecoin implodes.

Market Response Shows Strong Momentum

The crypto regulation news triggered immediate market reactions, with Coinbase & Circle stocks benefiting from renewed institutional interest. GENCO noted the revenue implications:

Market is slowly discovering that Coinbase gets 50% of revenue generated from USDC + 100% of revenue from USDC on Coinbase platform + an equity stake + GENIUS Act just passed the Senate. It’s a Stablecoin Summer.
