The U.S. House just passed the GENIUS Act, a federal framework for stablecoins, in a decisive 308–122 vote—sending the bill to President Trump for signature. Alongside it, two companion bills—the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act and the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act—also advanced, signaling a pivotal moment for crypto regulation.
But amid bipartisan support, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene voiced fierce opposition, warning the bill opens doors to a “government-controlled cashless society,” and criticizing the lack of explicit CBDC protections. This clash underscores a deeper ideological divide within the crypto-friendly faction: while many celebrate the prospect of clarity and consumer safeguards, skepticism remains around the balance between regulation and freedom.
