Washington, D.C. – June 18, 2025
President #DonaldTrump made headlines Tuesday evening with a forceful statement endorsing the GENIUS Act—a pivotal bill focused on regulating stablecoins. His comments have energized the crypto industry and catalyzed sharp gains in the share prices of major U.S. digital asset firms, particularly Circle and Coinbase.
📜 What is the GENIUS Act?
The #GENIUSAct (Guaranteed Essential National Infrastructure for U.S. Stablecoins) is a landmark piece of legislation aimed at establishing a regulatory framework for stablecoins in the United States. Its objectives include:
Enhancing security and transparency in the stablecoin market
Establishing clear oversight mechanisms
Boosting U.S. competitiveness in the global digital asset space
Having passed the Senate, the bill is now under consideration in the House of Representatives. President Trump has called for its immediate passage without delay.
🇺🇸 Trump's Call for Swift Action
Posting on his Truth Social account, President Trump stated:
> “The Senate passed the law that will make America invincible in digital assets. No one can do this better than us. Digital assets are the future, and our nation will own these assets… I want this bill on my desk without delay or amendments. We will show the world how successful we are in digital innovation.”
Trump’s comments have been widely interpreted as the clearest signal yet of his strong commitment to the digital asset economy. Analysts suggest this could mark the beginning of a new U.S. strategy to compete directly with China, the EU, and other emerging economies in crypto infrastructure and blockchain innovation.
📈 Market Reaction: Circle and Coinbase Surge
Following Trump’s remarks:
Circle, which recently went public on June 5, saw its stock price soar to $200, up from a pre-IPO valuation of $31—an unprecedented rise attributed to the growing confidence in regulatory clarity for USDC, the stablecoin it issues.
Coinbase, Circle’s key partner in managing USDC reserves, also witnessed a nearly 20% jump in its share price on the same day.
Market analysts view these movements as a strong endorsement of the stablecoin ecosystem and a sign of investor confidence in both the legislation and the administration’s pro-crypto posture.
🌍 Crypto as a Strategic Asset Amid Global Tensions
President Trump also commented on the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict, noting:
> “The Iranians want to come to the White House. That may happen. I’m not sure the regime can fall, but Netanyahu is doing a good job. I don’t want to get involved in the war.”
Despite these geopolitical concerns, Trump’s emphasis remained firmly on crypto, highlighting its emerging role not just as a technological breakthrough, but as a component of national strategy and economic diplomacy.
🏛️ What’s Next?
Should the GENIUS Act pass in the House and reach the President’s desk, it would mark the first comprehensive stablecoin legislation in U.S. history. Its enactment could:
Provide regulatory clarity to institutions
Spark increased institutional capital inflow
Reinforce USDC’s position as a potential global reserve stablecoin
This move would also signal that the U.S. is positioning itself as a global leader in digital asset infrastructure.

🚨 Conclusion: The U.S. Enters a New Crypto Era
President Trump’s endorsement of the GENIUS Act represents a transformative moment in American crypto policy. His administration appears ready to embrace digital assets as a strategic economic and geopolitical tool. With this bill, the U.S. is not just regulating crypto—it’s declaring leadership in its future.
As the legislation progresses, companies like Circle and Coinbase stand at the forefront of this new era, poised to benefit from a regulatory framework designed to support innovation, trust, and global influence in the digital economy.
