- Coinbase (COIN) climbed nearly 8%,
- Bakkt (BKKT) rose over 6%,
- Canaan (CAN) and Hut 8 Mining gained more than 5%.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Senate will hold its final vote on the Stablecoin National Innovation Guidance Act (GENIUS). Market analysts expect the outcome to trigger significant volatility in crypto stocks, particularly stablecoin-related equities.
Meanwhile, Hong Kong has already passed its stablecoin legislation, and South Korea is advancing its own regulatory framework. Given the U.S. strategic interest in stablecoin competitiveness, the GENIUS Act is widely expected to pass.
