The U.S. stablecoin market just saw its biggest weekly surge in over a year — with $4 billion in fresh issuance pushing the total supply to $264 billion.
This rapid expansion comes after the GENIUS Act was signed into law, introducing clear regulations for fiat-backed stablecoins.
🧾 The law requires:
- Full (100%) reserves
- Monthly audits
- SEC/CFTC exemptions for compliant issuers
📊 Analysts say this marks a new era for dollar-backed digital assets, boosting investor confidence and opening the door to wider institutional use.
