24H Crypto Pulse: GENIUS Bill Advances, Powell Rules Out July Rate Cut, and BTC Giants Accumulate
**
The GENIUS Act Is Moving—And So Is Power
The Senate just passed the GENIUS Stablecoin Act. Now it’s heading to the House—a rare moment where crypto policy isn’t stuck in gridlock. Trump wants it fast; Congress is divided on bundling it with market structure reform. But here’s what matters: this isn’t just about regulation—it’s about legitimacy.
For the first time, we’re seeing Congress treat stablecoins as financial infrastructure, not speculative toys. And with Hong Kong approving multi-currency stablecoin licenses (yes, even USD-backed ones on Solana), we’re entering a new era of borderless finance.
Fun fact: My Yiddish grandmother would’ve called this ‘a deal with the devil’—but she’d also say ‘the devil has good credit.’

Powell Says No to Rate Cuts—But BTC Loves It
When asked if the Fed might cut rates in July, Powell did his signature move: he didn’t answer. Instead: “I don’t think we need to rush.” That silence? Market gold.
Why? Because inflation is cooling—but so are expectations for rate cuts. The result? More real yield potential in Bitcoin and other hard assets.
And let me be clear: the Fed doesn’t own or want to buy BTC—that was Powell’s explicit statement. But guess what? Nobody said they had to have it for their portfolio either.

Institutions Are Buying—Not Selling
While retail traders panic over Upexi’s 60% drop (43 million shares dumped!), serious players are stacking BTC like it’s artisanal cheese at a Brooklyn deli.
- Bitmax: Now holds 300+ BTC—the largest Korean public company holding.
- Vinanz: 58.68 BTC after recent buying.
- The Smarter Web Company: Up by 196 coins—now at 543 total.
- Vaultz Capital: Took its first 10-BTC position at $104K each.
This isn’t FOMO—it’s strategy. These aren’t mom-and-pop shops; they’re boardrooms making long-term bets on monetary sovereignty.

New Tools Are Coming—And They Matter
Let me introduce you to USDB: a native USD stablecoin on Bitcoin via Spark L2. Supported by U.S. Treasuries—not wrapped or bridged—but on-chain from day one.
No more cross-chain risk. No more synthetic exposure. Just dollars backed by debt—and built for Bitcoin users who hate compromise. Also:
- Chainlink + Mastercard = 3 billion users can now buy crypto via cards via Chainlink-powered rails.
- Aptos + Jump Crypto launch Shelby—a decentralized hot storage network for AI and real-time apps (think streaming data without latency).
- Story & OKX Ventures fund $10M for IP-AI crossover startups (yes, your favorite meme could become an AI training dataset). These aren’t side projects—they’re foundations of tomorrow’s economy.
** The Long-Term Holders Are Winning Again ➡️ ➡️ ➡️ ➡️ ➡️ ➡️ ➡️ ➡️ ➡️ ➡️ ➡️ ➡️ ➡️ ➡️ ➡️ ____ The Glassnode report dropped today: long-term holders now control nearly 14.7 million BTC—a record high.* The market dips? They hold tighter than my uncle during tax season.* The narrative shift? From “crash mode” to “hold mode.” This isn’t fear—it’s conviction disguised as patience.
Pro tip: If you’re nervous about volatility while others accumulate quietly, ask yourself: are you trading or investing?

Final Thoughts — The Bigger Picture
We’re not just watching market movements—we’re witnessing systemic change:
- Regulatory progress (GENIUS)
- Institutional accumulation (BTC giants)
- New tools (USDB, Shelby)
- Payment integration (Mastercard x Chainlink)
All converging toward one truth: cryptocurrency isn’t going away—it’s becoming infrastructure.*
If you’re still thinking in terms of “hype vs reality,” you’re late to the party.*

## GENIUS? More Like GENIUS-LEVEL DREAMS
The Senate passed the GENIUS Act—yes, even my Yiddish grandmother would’ve said ‘the devil has good credit.’ Now Congress is arguing over bundling it with market reform like it’s a dating profile.
## Powell’s Silence = Market Gold
When Powell said ‘no rush’ on July cuts, the market went full: ‘Wait… so we’re getting real yield?’
Bitcoin loves silence. Especially when it means more hard assets in portfolios.
## Institutions Are Buying—Like It’s Broccoli
While retail panics over Upexi’s 60% crash (43M shares gone!), Bitmax, Vinanz, and Vaultz Capital are quietly stacking BTC like it’s free kombucha at a crypto brunch.
Long-term holders now control 14.7M BTC—more than my uncle during tax season.
Pro tip: If you’re nervous while others accumulate… are you trading or just waiting to lose?
## USDB & Shelby = Future Infrastructure
USDB on Bitcoin via Spark L2? No bridges. No risks. Just dollars backed by Treasuries—and built for people who hate compromise.
Chainlink + Mastercard = 3B users buying crypto with cards. Aptos + Jump Crypto launch Shelby—AI streaming without lag. Story & OKX fund $10M for IP-AI startups (your meme might train an AI next).
This isn’t hype—it’s infrastructure being built in real time.
You still thinking ‘hype vs reality’? You’re late to the party.

¡El GENIUS Act avanza!
¿Sabías que el Senado ya lo aprobó? Y no es solo una ley: es el sí de Washington al dinero digital. Mi abuela yiddish diría: “¡Pacto con el diablo!”… pero luego añadiría: “pero tiene buen historial crediticio”.
Powell dice que no hay corte de tasas… pero BTC se ríe como si ya tuviera su propio banco central.
Y los gigantes compran como si fuera queso artesanal en Brooklyn: Bitmax con 300 BTC, Vaultz con 10 bloques a $104K… ¡ni un parpadeo!
¿Tú vendiendo por pánico? Quizás deberías preguntarte: ¿estás invirtiendo o simplemente jugando al ajedrez sin reglas?
¿Tu turno? Comenta: ¿serás el próximo coleccionista del siglo o seguirás en la fila del miedo? 🧠👇
GENIUS? Mais que isso: Legitimidade!
O Congresso finalmente moveu o GENIUS Act — e minha avó judia diria: ‘O diabo tem bom crédito!’ Mas agora é sério: stablecoins viraram infraestrutura, não brinquedo.
Powell falou nada… e o mercado entendeu tudo
Silêncio do Powell = sinal de ouro. Inflação caiu, expectativas de corte também… e o BTC? Está fazendo mais rendimento real do que um fundo de pensão português.
Gigantes compram enquanto os outros vendem
Enquanto o Upexi desaba (43 milhões de ações!), Bitmax e Vaultz estão acumulando como se fosse queijo artesanal no Brooklyn. Estratégia? Sim. FOMO? Nem um pouco.
O futuro já está aqui — sem pontes nem riscos
USDB no Bitcoin via Spark L2: dólares com lastro em Títulos dos EUA, on-chain desde o primeiro dia. Sem engano, sem intermediários.
Se você ainda está pensando ‘hype vs real’, já perdeu o ônibus. 🚌
Vocês estão com quem? Com os long-term holders ou com os paniques do dia? Comentem! 🔥
Ah, os gigantes do BTC estão comprando como se fosse queijo artesanal em Brooklyn — e eu aqui só queria um café sem desconto.
Enquanto o Upexi desaba como uma torre de cartas, os institucionais acumulam como se fossem guardiões do novo sistema financeiro. O GENIUS Act passa, o Powell diz ‘não sei’… e o mercado responde: ‘sim’.
Será que estamos na era da verdadeira infraestrutura ou só mais um jogo de quem aguenta mais? 🤔
Se tu ainda estás vendendo por pânico… talvez estejas no lugar errado. Vamos trocar estratégias? 😎
Powell disse ‘não’ às taxas… mas os gigantes de BTC estão dançando fado como se fosse o novo ouro de Lisboa! Enquanto os retail traders panicam com um drop de 60%, os instituições compram BTC como se fosse queijo da Madeira — tudo com validade e sem risco. A minha avó diria: “Isso é um pacto com o diabo”… mas ele tem bom crédito. E sim, o blockchain não é brincado — é infraestrutura. Quem ainda duvida? Pergunta-te: estás a comprar ou só a dançar?
