Bitwise CIO: Stablecoin Legislation Could Pave the Way for a Multi-Year Bull Market in Crypto
According to The Block, the U.S. Senate voted on Monday to advance landmark stablecoin legislation, with Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stating that this move could pave the way for a prolonged bull market in crypto assets. He likened this development to a "marriage between Wall Street and the crypto industry." Senators voted 66 to 32 to advance the GENIUS Act, which received bipartisan support, including 16 Democratic senators who had previously opposed it but switched to support this week. Leaders in the crypto industry and legislators hailed this vote as a historic victory, believing it helps ensure the dominance of the dollar. However, following the procedural vote, lawmakers still need to vote on potential amendments before a final vote on the bill itself. Hougan wrote in a note to clients on Tuesday evening, "Politicians in Washington did the right thing. I don't want to get ahead of myself, but it looks like we will see the first fully passed crypto legislation in the U.S. this summer."

US Stock Movement | Snap (SNAP.US) rises over 6% as hedge funds urge the introduction of external capital for Specs, potentially unlocking shareholder value
According to news from Zhitong Finance APP, on Friday, Snap (SNAP.US) surged over 6% to $6.24. On the news front, the hedge fund Blue Duck Capital Partners hopes that Snap Inc. will sell part of its Specs business shares to raise funds. Alex Beinfield, Chief Investment Officer of Blue Duck, recently said in a letter to Snap’s board that Snap is "seriously" undervalued, and raising funds for Specs would unlock significant shareholder value. He stated that a financing centered on Specs would help support related expenditures without diluting Snap's share count, while also preserving its cash flow. Moreover, this move is expected to help the company reduce the Specs’ price of about $2,200. He believes that selling 20% of the Specs subsidiary at a valuation of $5 billion would raise $1 billion, enough to support that department's expenses for around two years.
