$USDC

As of today, the U.S. Senate has passed the GENIUS Act, establishing a federal regulatory framework for stablecoins, requiring issuers to back their stablecoins fully with liquid assets such as dollars or government bonds and to regularly disclose reserve conditions. This move promotes the expansion of capital in the stablecoin market, with the total market capitalization of stablecoins now exceeding approximately $251.7 billion, a growth of about 22% year-to-date.

🔍 Brief Analysis

The stablecoin market is demonstrating the robustness and compliance of fiat currencies. The new regulatory bill injects confidence into the market and is expected to guide more traditional financial institutions and tech giants (such as Amazon and Walmart) into this domain. For USDC, adhering to redemption commitments, transparent reserves, and stable pricing against the dollar is core to its stable position. If the bill completes legislation along with high market capitalization and trading volume, it will further consolidate USDC's leadership in payment and DeFi applications.

Its stable value peg and compliance process make it a hedge choice during volatility in risk assets. If policy developments progress smoothly within the day, the use cases for USDC are expected to expand rapidly.
