GENIUS Crypto Moves or Hype? Decrypting New US Laws

With the crypto market crossing a $4 trillion valuation and the US passing sweeping new regulations like the "Genius" and "Clarity" Acts, digital assets are having their 'legitimacy moment.' But what do these new rules actually mean, and how will they ripple across the globe to markets like Malaysia?

Hann Liew, Founder and CEO of Halogen Capital, a licensed fund manager, specialising in digital assets,  joins us to break down this pivotal shift. He explains how the new US laws provide much-needed clarity for stablecoins and the classification of crypto assets, paving the way for wider institutional adoption and the tokenisation of real-world assets.

We discuss:

  • What the new US "Genius" and "Clarity" Acts mean for the industry.

  • Why US regulations have a massive global ripple effect on other markets.

  • How Malaysia can capitalise by harmonising regulations and leading in niches like Islamic finance.

  • The coming trends of institutional adoption and tokenisation.

  • The massive opportunity in tokenising real-world assets like commodities and real estate.

    For investors, policymakers, and financial institutions, this is a clarifying guide to understanding the new crypto landscape.
