The U.S. Senate just passed the GENIUS Act — a new bill that gives federal rules for stablecoins. Big crypto win!

🚨Breaking News:
The GENIUS Act passed 68–30, setting the first-ever federal stablecoin regulations and unlocking a path for private digital dollars.

⚡Wire Simplified –

  • The bill allows banks, fintechs, and even retailers to issue stablecoins (if they follow the rules).

  • Full-reserve backing, monthly audits, and anti-money laundering checks are now mandatory.

  • The Treasury will take the lead in regulating stablecoins (at least in the Senate version).

  • Big firms like Amazon, Shopify, and JPMorgan are already circling this space.

  • Trump’s crypto empire is booming — critics say he may personally profit from this legislation.

✔️Straight to the Point:
The GENIUS Act brings crypto into the legal spotlight — but also into political drama. Regulation meets innovation... and billionaires.

🗳️ Should retailers like Amazon be allowed to issue their own stablecoins?

JPMorgan is entering crypto (but in a suit). Meet JPMD — a new deposit token built for big institutional money.

🚨Breaking News:
JPMorgan launches JPMD, a digital deposit token built on Coinbase’s Base blockchain — for faster, 24/7 settlement with interest.

⚡Wire Simplified –

  • JPMD works like a stablecoin but is only for big clients (not you or me yet).

  • It's built on Coinbase’s public blockchain (yes, the same one you trade memes on).

  • Unlike public stablecoins, JPMD is “permissioned” — institutions only, please.

  • It offers round-the-clock settlement and future interest payments.

  • This keeps JPMorgan relevant as stablecoins gain ground fast — $28 trillion in stablecoin transactions last year alone!

✔️Straight to the Point:
JPMorgan wants a seat at the crypto table — but only for the grown-ups. JPMD is the bank's play to stay modern.
