🇺🇸 Trump Signs ‘Genius Act’ Into Law The president officially signed the GENIUS Stablecoin Act into law this week, creating a much-needed legal framework for dollar-backed digital assets. The bill establishes clear guidelines around issuance, reserves, and interoperability, marking the first major federal stablecoin legislation in the U.S. With Circle, Stripe, and even banks watching closely, this law could be the backbone of the digital dollar economy. 

📜 U.S. House Passes the Clarity for Payment Stablecoins Act The House also passed the Clarity Act, which reinforces state-level oversight for stablecoin issuers and limits the Fed’s role, effectively giving green light to fintech-led innovation. The Senate still needs to sign off, but the momentum is strong. Policy is finally catching up to product and we are excited to see what this will mean for fintechs and broader adoption of digital assets. 

🚀 Ethereum Breaks $3,800 Well, what a pleasant surprise after what felt like an endless bear season for Ethereum.

Ethereum ETFs have not enjoyed the same level of optimism as their Bitcoin cousins since launch, so this is a much-needed green candle.

📥 Q2 Crypto Treasury: Bitcoin Dominates But let’s get back to Bitcoin. According to Blockworks Research, BTC was the only major crypto to post treasury growth in H1 2025.

🏦 Strategy Resumes Bitcoin Buys, Now Holds $7.2B in BTC You can’t mention Bitcoin without mentioning Strategy these days. After a pause during Q2 volatility, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) is back on the BTC train (or more like driving the train), adding hundreds of millions to its position, now worth $7.2 billion. It's the ultimate long-duration bet on Bitcoin, and as always, Michael Saylor is tripling down on his conviction.
