A big shake-up is underway in the U.S. crypto landscape with the House's approval of the GENIUS Act passing the bill to the President’s desk for signing into law. This bold legislation demands full backing for stablecoins while giving a cold shoulder to algorithmic variants, aiming to bolster the mighty dollar's strength in the digital arena.

The question now is whether Congress has finally cracked the code to provide much-needed clarity and confidence for innovators. As regulators scramble to find their seats in this new order and market players hold their breath, the stage is set for a potential game-changer in how the U.S. approaches cryptocurrency.
