🔹In 2025, the #GENIUS Act was all about stablecoins, but it had a significant impact on #Bitcoin. Stablecoins were defined as regulated layers, effectively closing the path to a CBDC.
This means that the US government is giving up direct control over digital money, and in such an environment, #Bitcoin is less exposed to structural risk with its role as a stored asset.
In the market debate, regulators have also been removed from #Bitcoin. Congressional proposals effectively consider #Bitcoin to be a mature decentralized currency that is not a security and has more disputes over altcoins. This change of perspective is key for #Bitcoin.
In addition, the limitation of CBDC issuance and the repeal of the DeFi tax law have created a safer environment for non-Imam wallets. Where #Bitcoin has the most overlap.
Overall, 2025 was not a year of #Bitcoin’s price explosion, but it was a year of consolidation in the eyes of the US government. The effect of this legal maturity will likely manifest itself in acceptance and price in the years to come.
