Coinbase Stock and Robinhood Rise After Crypto Bill Victory. MicroStrategy and Block Also on the Move. Shares of Coinbase Global and Robinhood Markets rallied Friday on the heels of a massive regulatory win that could usher in the wider adoption of cryptocurrencies in the U.S.

Most entities now considering tapping into stablecoins amid the GENIUS Act’s passage say they would first use them for largely “back-end” purposes, like reducing fees paid by merchants to credit card companies or more easily converting currencies from cross-border payments.

The measure, which passed the U.S. House with broad bipartisan support after clearing the Senate, is now on track to become law. President Trump lobbied Republicans to support it.

There would be a great irony if cryptocurrency — which was created in 2008 to provide an alternative to the mainstream financial system that had just failed — led to another economic crash. But that is what a handful of experts fear could happen now that Congress has passed the GENIUS Act, a major piece of crypto legislation.

Two of the legislations — the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act — were passed with significant bipartisan support.

The GENIUS Act gives stablecoins real legal backing, paving the way for instant payments, lower fees, and a safer digital dollar you can actually trust.

In a week of landmark legislative wins for the crypto industry, the U.S. House of Representatives has now passed all three key bills — the CLARITY Act, the GENIUS Act, and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act. But despite what many in the industry have called a historic breakthrough, markets are barely reacting.

Two major pieces of legislation are headed to President Trump's desk. The House approved Mr. Trump's request to claw back billions of dollars in foreign aid and public broadcasting, and passed a historic cryptocurrency regulation bill.
