US Congress prepares for ‘Crypto Week’ as industry urges lawmakers to act
As Congress prepares to debate three major crypto bills during “Crypto Week,” the crypto community and advocacy groups are racing to turn momentum into real legislation.
The US House of Representatives is gearing up for what Republican leadership has branded “Crypto Week,” a legislative push scheduled from next Monday to Friday that could reshape the future of digital asset regulation in the country.
This week’s episode of Byte-Sized Insight explores the political stakes of these bills, the industry’s lobbying efforts and whether bipartisan support is enough to push legislation across the finish line.
Lawmakers are expected to debate and potentially vote on three high-profile bills: the CLARITY Act, which would define regulatory oversight of crypto markets; the GENIUS Act, which creates a framework for stablecoins and has already cleared the Senate; and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, which would ban the creation of a US central bank digital currency.
