US Introduces GENIUS Act to Regulate Stablecoins and Boost Market
Stablecoins and the broader crypto market showed signs of recovery following the introduction of the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act by Senator Bill Hagerty. The bill aims to create a regulatory framework for stablecoins:
- Stablecoins like Tether and USD Coin, with market caps above $10B, would follow US Federal Reserve regulations.
- Those below this threshold would be regulated at the state level.
This development was discussed at a White House press conference, where AI and crypto adviser David Sacks highlighted the potential of stablecoins in enhancing the digital usage of the US dollar.
Implications for the Market
The introduction of the GENIUS Act is viewed positively amid current market downturns. Investors are encouraged to consider buying during this dip, particularly in meme coins, which previously demonstrated significant growth. Below are five meme coins identified as having high growth potential:
- Solaxy ($SOLX) – A new Layer 2 ecosystem on Solana with a presale raising $18M.
- MIND of Pepe ($MIND) – An AI-driven meme coin that has raised over $5M in presale.
- Meme Index ($MEMEX) – Offers diversified exposure through four meme coin baskets, with $3.4M raised so far.
- Fartcoin ($FARTCOIN) – A humor-centric coin that reached a $1B market cap before recent declines.
- Pudgy Penguins ($PENGU) – An established NFT collection that recently expanded to Solana, currently recovering from a market cap drop.
Conclusion
The GENIUS Act provides a regulatory framework that may stabilize the market. Current price dips present potential buying opportunities. Investors should conduct thorough research before making decisions.
