On Tuesday evening last week, the United States Senate passed the GENIUS Act – a historic and resounding affirmation that crypto is here to stay.

For nearly fifteen years, the digital asset industry has operated in the shadows: often misunderstood, frequently misrepresented and largely unsupported. Entrepreneurs built without rules; investors speculated without guidance; and institutions hesitated, wary of unclear terrain. The GENIUS Act – short for Government Engagement in the Nurturing and Innovation of the U.S. Digital Asset Sector – marks a dramatic turning point. It is the latest, and arguably most consequential, moment of clarity for a space that has long yearned for it.
