무슨 일 있었나: 지니어스 법안은 미국에서 달러에 연동된 암호화폐, 일명 스테이블코인에 대한 규제 체계를 마련한다.

AppLovin, First Solar And Li Auto Are Among Top 10 Large Cap Losers Last Week (June 16-20): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

Analysts are pointing out that the GENIUS Act, which was passed in the Senate on Tuesday, could increase the competition for the large payment networks like Visa Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) and Mastercard Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>).
What Happened: The act establishes a regulatory framework for dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies, also known as Stablecoins, in the U.S.
According to Mark Hines, the investment director and founder at Herrick Lake Investments, internet companies like Stripe and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) could quickly adopt stablecoin-based payments and bypass networks like Visa and Mastercard with lower fees.

In an earlier post, Hines added that &#8220;Dear $V and $MA, Stablecoin $COIN is coming for you. You will both grow slower. You may be forced to reduce fees. You&#8217;re both great businesses, but change is coming. Sincerely, Disruption.&#8221;
Donald Trump, in a Truth social post, called for the quick passage of the GENIUS Act. &#8220;The House will hopefully move LIGHNING FAST, and pass a &#8216;clean&#8217; GENIUS Act. Get it to my desk, ASAP &#8212; NO DELAYS, NO ADD ONS.&#8221;

Meanwhile, Rebound Capital on <a href="https://substack.com/@reboundcapital/note/c-127282505">Substack</a> had a contrarian view as it said that &#8220;there is still a long way to go before stablecoins start hurting their bottom line.&#8221; 
Tether (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDT</a>) and USD Coin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>) are common cryptocurrencies that are pegged to the U.S. dollar.

Former Bank of England economist Dan Davies warned that stablecoins could pose a &#8220;systemic risk&#8221; to U.S. banks and the dollar. He compared stablecoin issuers to banks that lack the oversight and safeguards of traditional institutions.

Why It Matters: According to the data highlighted by Fiscal.ai (formerly FinChat), Visa, Mastercard, and American Express Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>) alone process ~$28 trillion in combined volume each year.

As Trump Says 'Get It to My Desk' For 'GENIUS' Stablecoin Bill, Analysts Warn Of Disruption To Payment Giants Visa And Mastercard

Dividend investing is gaining popularity this year as investors seek to protect their portfolios from market volatility amid the impact of tariffs. Dividend stocks have proved their mettle in market downturns. According to a <a href="https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/documents/education/education-the-importance-of-dividends.pdf">report </a>from S&amp;P Global, the S&amp;P 500 High Dividend Index outperformed the broader S&amp;P 500 during both the dot-com bubble and the post-pandemic recession.
Earlier this month, a dividend investor <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/dividends/comments/1l37sm5/my_projected_income_for_june_is_60524/">shared</a> his income report and portfolio details on r/Dividends, a Reddit community with over 730,000 followers. The investor's portfolio screenshots showed his estimated dividend income for June stood at just $60,000. He earned about $52,000 on average per month with a single dividend ETF over the past five months.

</ul>
The Redditor said he currently works as a self-employed attorney and makes $600,000, with plans to retire soon.
"I am a solo attorney who practices in NY but works remotely from Thailand," he said. "I love the flexibility of being able to set my own schedule and manage my own caseload. Most of all, I love the ability to write briefs from the pool or the beach!"
Let's take a look at some of the key holdings of the investor.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">YieldMax MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF</h2>
The YieldMax MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTY#NYSE">MSTY</a>) generates income by selling call options on MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) stock. The fund is down about 21% so far this year.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
MSTY was the biggest position of the investor, accounting for about 45% of his portfolio. He started a position in the fund about five months ago with 10,000 shares and gradually increased it to 36,838 shares.
The investor said he collected about $261,400 in distributions from MSTY over the past five months with an average monthly payout of $52,000.&nbsp;
"Of course I understand the risks associated with this type of investment vehicle and nothing lasts forever, past performance is not an indicator of future performance, and well aware of NAV erosion," he said about the fund.
He plans to use MSTY's payouts to pay off the mortgage on a new apartment.
"Once that is done, I'll reduce my holdings in MSTY to generate $12-14k a month to cover my monthly expenses in NY and Thailand, where I spend a lot of time in," he added.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF</h2>
About 16% of the total portfolio of the investor was allocated to JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JEPQ#NASDAQ">JEPQ</a>). It's a high-yield covered call ETF that distributes monthly dividend income. The ETF invests in Nasdaq companies and generates extra income by selling call options.&nbsp;

Benzinga Market Summary: Fed Leaves Rates Unchanged, Powell Says Tariffs This Year Oil On Watch As Investors Await Iran-Israel Developments, Payments Stocks Fall On Stablecoin Updates

WIIM

Shares of credit card companies are trading lower in reaction to Coinbase's announcement that it launched Coinbase Payments stablecoin payments stack.

U.S. stocks inched higher by midday Wednesday, as traders weighed geopolitical uncertainty and awaited the Federal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/06/45978856/federal-reserve-rate-cuts-trump-tariffs-what-to-watch-wednesday">Reserve's June policy decision. </a>
President Donald Trump declined to offer a clear response on whether the U.S. would directly intervene in the escalating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45988135/bernie-sanders-slams-israels-illegal-attack-on-iran-says-absolutely-imperative-that-the-united-states-not-be-dragged-into-this-war">Israel-Iran conflict</a>.
The Federal Reserve is widely expected to hold rates steady at 4.25%-4.50% for a fourth consecutive meeting. Yet, investor focus is centered on the updated Summary of Economic Projections. 
Economists anticipate the new dot plot will reflect a median expectation of just one rate cut in 2025—down from two in March—alongside modest upward revisions to inflation and downward adjustments to growth forecasts.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The S&amp;P 500 hovered slightly above the 6,000 mark.</li>
<li>The Nasdaq 100 gained over 100 points to trade around 21,860.</li>
<li>Small caps outperformed, with the Russell 2000 climbing 1%.</li>
</ul>
On a sector basis, consumer discretionary led gains, while energy stocks declined, reversing Tuesday's strength.
Among megacaps, Visa Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) and Mastercard Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>) slid after the U.S. Senate passed a bill introducing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45995223/genius-stablecoin-bill-clears-senate-but-trumps-crypto-profits-loom-over-momentum">regulatory framework for stablecoins</a>. Meanwhile, Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) surged 12% to a four-month-high.
In the bond market, Treasury yields declined, with the 30-year yield falling to 4.85%. Oil prices dropped 1.8% to $72 per barrel after Trump's noncommittal stance on Iran dented expectations of a supply shock. 
Gold rose 0.2%, silver slipped 0.7%, and Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) held steady at $104,800.
