The US Senate passing the GENIUS Act resulted in stock price surges for Coinbase and Circle, with Circle's shares rising over 33% and Coinbase's shares gaining 16%.
The passage of the stablecoin bill is expected to increase the legitimacy of stablecoins and benefit early-stage tokens like Bitcoin Pepe in the market.
Coinbase and Circle, major cryptocurrency firms, have shown significant growth following the Senate's approval of the GENIUS Act.
Coinbase shares surged 16%, making it the top gainer among S&P 500 stocks, while Circle's shares jumped sixfold since its IPO.
Circle, the issuer of USDC stablecoin, has seen stablecoin-related revenue play a significant role in earnings growth for Coinbase.
Bitcoin Pepe, a new cryptocurrency project combining Bitcoin's security with Solana's speed, has raised over $15 million and announced a 30% token bonus for current investors.
The GENIUS Act passed by the Senate establishes a framework for private entities to issue stablecoins under strict oversight and regulations.
Bitcoin Pepe continues to gain attention during its presale, with plans for listing on MEXC and BitMart exchanges to enhance market visibility and liquidity.
The project team is set to make a major listing announcement on June 30, further boosting investor interest.
