🚀 Stablecoin Supply Surge: Facts & Figures
* The GENIUS Act, signed into U.S. law on July 18, 2025, created the first federal regulatory framework for payment stablecoins.
* Within just one week, stablecoin supply grew by $4 billion, bringing total U.S. stablecoin market cap above $264 billion.
* Fueling this growth: banks, asset managers (e.g., JPMorgan, Bank of America, WisdomTree), crypto firms, and fintechs seized the regulatory clarity to issue licensed stablecoins.
* The law mandates 1:1 backing in U.S. dollars or high-quality liquid assets, monthly disclosures, and third-party audits—ensuring full reserve transparency.
🔎 Market Impact & Sentiment
* Institutional trust rising: corporate players now confident to issue regulated stablecoins.
* Treasury demand forecasted: Morgan Stanley projects new stablecoin growth could support uptake in short-dated U.S. Treasuries.
* Investor optimism: stock prices of issuers like Circle and Coinbase rose as the market welcomed regulatory clarity.
* Risk note: Critics, including BIS and Amundi, warn of possible financial stability risks in case of issuer failure or global adoption beyond U.S. capital controls.
