Coin World News reported that on July 17 (UTC+8), U.S. House Republicans are divided over whether to merge the CLARITY Act with the anti-CBDC bill. House Republican leaders initially planned to combine the CBDC with the Clarity Act after passing the MIRV procedure and to vote separately on the Genius Act, but Republicans on the Financial Services Committee opposed this plan, believing it could hinder the Clarity Act. The relevant voting rules have not yet been finalized.
