Dogecoin is surging amid legislative wins Crypto tokens got a bullish catalyst after the House of Representatives voted to apve the first bill outlining definitive regulations for the cryptocurrency industry, in this volatile climate
The passage of the Genius Act in the House seemingly puts new guidelines in place that could help spur growth for the crypto industry
Moreover, While the introduction of new regulations may be an impediment to growth in some cases, establishing -cut regulatory guidelines could help spur adoption for cryptocurrencies including Dogecoin
What's next for Dogecoin
Dogecoin has seen some volatile pricing swings this year, but it has recently attracted some strategic investment that could be of big interest to investors
Bit Origin announced yesterday that it had raised $500 million in funding and that it would be using the freshly raised capital to build its Dogecoin treasury
Crypto treasury strategies that involve selling new s or taking on debt to raise funds to buy cryptocurrencies have become increasingly lately, and it's possible that Dogecoin could see valuation tailwinds if companies move to buy up large positions in the token and signal long-term support for the meme coin
