In the latest edition of Crypto Long & Short, Ravi Tanuku discusses how the GENIUS Act has reshaped the landscape for Bitcoin, effectively replacing its monetary premium with government-sanctioned stablecoins. Since the Act's implementation, Bitcoin's value has dropped by 43%, while the stablecoin market cap surged by 45%, indicating a shift in demand from Bitcoin to regulated alternatives. This change highlights Bitcoin's primary use as a means for dollar access in countries facing capital controls, rather than as a speculative asset.
