Shares of Coinbase and Circle Explode in Value After US Senate Passes Landmark Stablecoin Bill – Crypto News

The shares of the crypto exchange Coinbase (COIN) and the stablecoin company Circle (CRCL) saw significant gains after US senators passed a landmark law to regulate stablecoins.

The US Senate on Wednesday voted 68-30 with bipartisan support in favor of the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act (GENIUS Act), which would establish a framework for stablecoin issuers.

The bill seeks to require stablecoin issuers to have full asset backing, monthly reserve disclosures and yearly audits for those with over $50 billion in market capitalization.

Says pro-crypto Wyoming Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis after the passage of the bill,

“Today brings us one step closer to becoming a welcoming home for digital asset companies. Now, let’s finish the job & pass market structure legislation to fulfill POTUS’ vision of becoming the crypto capital of the world.”

Following the development, the shares of Circle surged by 33.82%, closing at $199. The company behind USD Coin (USDC), the second-largest stablecoin by market cap, just launched as a publicly traded company earlier this month with an initial public offering (IPO) price of $31.00 per share.

Coinbase’s shares also rose by 16.32% and closed at $295.29 on Wednesday.

The House of Representatives must still pass a version of the bill before the proposed legislation heads to President Donald Trump’s desk for approval.
