Trump signs GENIUS Act into law after tumultuous crypto week as Bitcoin maintains $119K support with flag pattern targeting $181K breakout.

Coinage Media host and financial reporter Zack Guzman discusses what the GENIUS Act, signed into law Friday by President Trump, means for the cryptocurrency industry.

Experts say the legislation could unleash a tidal wave of new stablecoins—and fresh complaints about President Trump's crypto entanglements.

Most entities now considering tapping into stablecoins amid the GENIUS Act’s passage say they would first use them for largely “back-end” purposes, like reducing fees paid by merchants to credit card companies or more easily converting currencies from cross-border payments.

US President Trump is expected to sign the GENIUS Act into law on Friday, marking the first major crypto legislation. Chamber of Progress CEO and founder Adam Kovacevich joins Market Catalysts to discuss the legislation and what it means for the crypto space.

The House of Representatives passed the GENIUS Act, making it the first major piece of federal legislation to regulate stablecoins.

The stablecoin bill, known as the Genius Act, and the crypto market structure bill, known as the Clarity Act, both received notable bipartisan support. Democratic lawmakers joined with Republicans to pass the stablecoin bill 308-122.

A legislative win in Congress, and the promise of more to come, has helped lift the prospects and the wealth of the cryptocurrency industry.
