🔥 Impact of the GENIUS Act on Crypto Assets
✅ 1. Stablecoins ($USDT , USDC, PYUSD, etc.)
🔹 Impact: Positive
• This regulation acknowledges the legality of stablecoins, making them more trustworthy and usable widely in the traditional financial sector.
• It could attract larger institutions into the crypto market.
• USDC & PYUSD are likely to benefit as they have been more compliant with regulations from the start.
⸻
🚀 2. Bitcoin ($BTC )
🔹 Impact: Positive but moderate
• Bitcoin will continue to be viewed as a digital safe haven due to the clarity of crypto regulation in general.
• Increased confidence in the stablecoin system supports liquidity in BTC trading, particularly in the BTC/USDT and BTC/USDC pairs.
• The stable strength of the US dollar could enhance the adoption of BTC as a long-term alternative, especially outside the US.
⸻
💎 3. Ethereum ($ETH ) and the DeFi ecosystem
🔹 Impact: Positive
• DeFi is heavily reliant on stablecoins.
• With stablecoins becoming more regulated and audited, trust in DeFi platforms will increase.
• Ethereum-based projects (AAVE, MakerDAO, Curve, etc.) are likely to see an increase in volume.
⸻
📈 4. Mid-Low Cap Altcoins (SOL, ADA, FET, etc.)
🔹 Impact: Neutral to Positive
• They are being driven by positive market sentiment towards regulation.
• However, altcoins without strong fundamentals or those not relevant to DeFi/stablecoins may still lag behind.
⸻
🔥 5. Exchange Tokens & Infrastructure (BNB, LDO, LRC, etc.)
🔹 Impact: Positive
• As regulations increase, the need for infrastructure such as custody, audit, and compliance tools grows.
• Tokens that support crypto infrastructure (for example, BNB through Binance, LDO through Ethereum staking) will also be boosted.
⸻
