- A major bill to regulate stablecoins is set for debate in the U.S. Senate, with possible approval expected soon.
- Changes to the stablecoin bill aim to address consumer protection and national security concerns raised by Democrats.
- Experts suggest the ongoing push for crypto regulation could fuel wider adoption and drive continued gains for bitcoin.
Bitcoin’s value has surged past $100,000 after a period of sharp declines earlier this year. The price swings come amid concerns over U.S. economic policy and global trade tensions linked to former president Donald Trump.
In recent weeks, JPMorgan analysts stated that bitcoin has started outperforming gold, predicting that this trend could last throughout 2025. Their report highlighted a shift since April, with bitcoin rising while gold has dipped. According to JPMorgan managing director Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, “Between mid-February and mid-April gold was rising at the expense of bitcoin, while of the past three weeks we have been observing the opposite, i.e. bitcoin rising at the expense of gold.” The team expects crypto-related events—including favorable U.S. laws and regulatory support—to further boost bitcoin in the coming months.
A key part of the expected growth stems from new legislation. The U.S. Senate will debate the “Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (Genius) Act” next week. This bill would create the first regulations for payment stablecoins—digital currencies pegged to reserves like the U.S. dollar. Senator Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, who introduced the bill, said in his statement, “the Senate will make history when we debate and pass the Genius Act that establishes the first ever pro-growth regulatory framework for payment stablecoins.” The bill has been redrafted to secure Democratic support, specifically on consumer protection and national security, as reported by Coindesk.
Bo Hines, executive director of the president’s digital assets counsel, commented at a crypto conference that real-time negotiations are ongoing and that the administration is eager to finalize the legislation. The regulatory push comes after previous failed attempts under President Joe Biden, while the crypto industry expresses a desire for clearer rules. Ira Auerbach from Offchain Labs noted, “The industry wants regulation… Give us the rules of the game and watch innovation flourish.”
Earlier this year, bitcoin lost over 30%, dropping from almost $110,000 to $75,000 as Trump’s trade war led to investor uncertainty. However, bitcoin’s recovery has reinforced bullish outlooks, with Bill Miller IV of Miller Value Partners telling CNBC that bitcoin might eventually reach $1 million due to its role as a check on government currency policies.
Gold prices also reached all-time highs during the period, but have recently declined as the threat of an extended trade war eases. With bitcoin’s market cap topping $2 trillion, Gadi Chait of Xapo Bank said that bitcoin and gold are both viewed as safe havens and long-term value stores during times of uncertainty.
