The U.S. Congress is now expected to address crypto market structure and stablecoin regulation through separate legislative efforts. According to Eleanor Terrett of CryptoInAmerica, the CLARITY Act (addressing crypto market structure) and the GENIUS Act (focusing on stablecoin regulation) will likely be handled independently. Initially, there was a push for both bills to advance together, aiming for a comprehensive approach to digital asset regulation. However, recent reports indicate a shift in strategy. The Senate Republican leadership and the White House appear to be aligning on the view that decoupling the two bills is the most practical path forward. This separation could allow for more focused debate and potentially faster progress on each issue. Stablecoin regulation, in particular, has been a subject of intense discussion due to concerns about financial stability and consumer protection. A standalone bill might allow for more targeted solutions. The next steps will be crucial for the future of crypto regulation in the US. ```
