MARKET UPDATE

The top stories from the broader market:

💸 Bitcoin Reaches All-time High: $BTC peaked at just shy of $112K this week, surpassing the previous high of $109K set in January. This surge represents an increase of over 25% in the last 30 days alone, with continued institutional investment, Bitcoin ETF inflows, and positive legal developments all contributing to its strong performance.

⚖️ GENIUS Act Advances: The US Senate voted 66-32 to advance the GENIUS Act to a Senate debate. The act would require stablecoins to be backed 1:1 by USD or other liquid assets, with annual audits for large issuers that have market capitalisations greater than $50 billion.

✍️ $XRP, $SOL & $DOGE ETFs Delayed: The SEC delayed its decision on XRP, SOL, and DOGE ETF applications filed by multiple companies this week amid deliberations on whether the proposals meet regulatory standards. Experts say that a delayed decision was expected, with a decision likely to be reached in Q4 this year.
