In a landmark week for digital assets, Congress passed three major bills—the GENIUS Act, the Anti-CBDC Act, and the CLARITY Act—sending them to President Trump’s desk and reigniting a surge across the crypto complex. Bitcoin topped $120,000, Ethereum broke above $3,600, and XRP spiked to a year-to-date high, lifting total crypto market cap back above $4 trillion.

This rally isn’t driven by hype—it’s being written into law. The GENIUS Act establishes a reserve-backed framework for stablecoins, while the CLARITY Act outlines clear boundaries for regulatory oversight between the SEC and CFTC. The Anti-CBDC Act blocks the creation of a government-run digital dollar—shutting down what many view as a direct threat to decentralized currencies. With bipartisan support and direct backing from the Trump administration and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the bills mark the clearest pro-crypto stance yet from Washington.

Catalyst Watch:

Trump is preparing an executive order that would open 401(k) plans to alternative assets like Bitcoin, metals, and private funds—potentially unlocking trillions in long-term demand. The order would direct federal agencies to clear the path for crypto in retirement portfolios, signaling a policy shift that could integrate digital assets into the core of American household savings.

Crypto is being woven into the fabric of U.S. financial policy.
