Another Big Week: Wins Piling Up for Crypto!πͺ
Stablecoin legislation gets passed in the Senate and JPMorgan capitulates in a big way!
Hey Thinkers π‘
This week marked a historic milestone for the crypto industry.
ποΈ GENIUS Act: Stablecoin Bill Passes in the Senate
In a landmark move, the U.S. Senate passed the GENIUS Act, the first standalone crypto legislation to ever clear the chamber. The bill, focused on stablecoin regulation, passed with overwhelming bipartisan support in a 68-30 vote β a massive win for the crypto industry and a signal that the tide is turning in Washington.
The bill now heads to the House of Representatives, where the pace of progress is uncertain. Some Democrats have raised concerns over President Trumpβs potential conflicts of interest due to his family's crypto holdings. A Thursday Forbes report noted that DT Marks DeFi LLC, a Trump-controlled entity, has been gradually reducing its stake in World Liberty Financial (WLF), dropping from 75% in December 2024 to just 40% post-June 8 β possibly to avoid political friction.
Despite the noise, Trump stated on Truth Social that he is ready to sign the bill ASAP once it reaches his desk.
To break it all down, I spoke with Cody Carbone, CEO of the Digital Chamber, about what happens next for the Stablecoin Bill and the broader market structure legislation.

πΌ JPMorgan Capitulates Further to Crypto
JPMorgan continues to walk the walk β even as CEO Jamie Dimon talks the talk.
Despite Dimon's historical criticism of crypto, JPMorgan is moving deeper into blockchain. This week, they announced that Kinexys will launch JPMD, a permissioned USD deposit token, on Coinbaseβs Base network.
JPMD is a major step forward from JPMCoin, which was siloed on JPMorganβs private Quorum blockchain. The shift to a public blockchain like Base is a recognition that open, transparent networks are the future of finance.
Even more telling: JPMorgan met with the SECβs Crypto Task Force this week. One of the key topics?
π βReviewing the potential impact of existing capital markets activity migrating to public blockchain.β
Theyβre not alone.
This week, the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) also met with the SECβs Crypto Task Force β this time to discuss tokenization and its implications.
We are watching institutional capitulation in real-time.
βΏ Bitcoinβs Healthy Bull Pullback
As weβve discussed in recent newsletters, the crypto bull market remains intact β but Bitcoin is currently undergoing a healthy pullback.
The Daily RSI indicates that BTC is cycling from an overbought zone to an oversold zone β classic behavior following the volatility sparked by tariff-related uncertainty.
Hereβs what to keep in mind:
Altcoins will likely bleed more as Bitcoin continues to correct.
BTC may bottom around $98K, resetting market sentiment before moving higher.
Long-term structure remains bullish. Patience is key as this consolidation plays out.
Final Thought:
The crypto industry just notched one of its biggest policy win to date. Institutions are leaning in. And while prices consolidate, the foundation for the next leg of the bull market is solidifying.
