Crypto Week marks a historic moment for the crypto asset sector in the United States. Starting on July 14, 2025, this week concentrates the debate and possible voting on three key bills that could transform the regulatory future of cryptocurrencies in the country.

The initiative arises in a context of market maturity, pressure for greater legal clarity, and growing institutional adoption of digital assets. Until now, the regulatory environment in the U.S. was marked by jurisdictional disputes between agencies like the SEC and the CFTC. Crypto Week seeks to resolve these ambiguities and establish clear rules for issuers, developers, companies, and investors.

Next, we explain what these new laws imply, why they are so important, and how they could impact the crypto ecosystem — both in the United States and globally.

The GENIUS Act (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act) proposes to establish a federal standard for the issuance and operation of stablecoins. Among its main points are:

  • Requirement for reserves equivalent to 100% backed by liquid assets, such as Treasury bonds;

  • Frequent audits and mandatory financial transparency;

  • Compliance with KYC and AML regulations;

  • Direct supervision by regulatory bodies.

The goal is to offer stability and trust to a market that plays a central role in decentralized finance (DeFi), international payments, and blockchain trading. With this framework, stablecoins like USDC and USDT would gain legal backing and more integration with the traditional financial system.

CLARITY Act: define who regulates what

The CLARITY Act (Digital Asset Market Structure and Clarity Act) seeks to clearly classify what type of asset each cryptocurrency is. It establishes criteria to determine whether a digital asset should be treated as a security (under SEC supervision) or as a commodity (under CFTC supervision).

This resolves one of the main bottlenecks in the sector: legal insecurity. Many projects were sued for allegedly issuing unregistered securities, without there being an objective regulation.

With this new framework, a more favorable environment for innovation, capital attraction, and project development is expected. What at first glance may seem like a legal 'tightening' can actually unlock hundreds of billions of dollars waiting for clear rules to enter the market.

Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act: a brake on the digital dollar

The Anti-CBDC Act (Anti-Central Bank Digital Currency Surveillance State Act) seeks to block the issuance of a digital currency by the U.S. Central Bank aimed at end consumers.

Its proponents argue that a state CBDC could jeopardize citizens' financial privacy by allowing the government to monitor transactions in real time. Therefore, the project prohibits the creation of any official digital currency that could be used as a surveillance tool.

This debate divides opinions: while some defend the state's monetary innovation, others warn of risks of excessive control. If approved, this law could influence regulatory decisions in other regions, including Latin America.

Global impact of the new crypto laws in the U.S.

With the adoption of these laws, the United States could position itself as a global leader in crypto market regulation. This would have immediate effects in other jurisdictions such as the European Union, the United Kingdom, and key Asian markets.

A clear regulatory framework would attract:

  • Crypto companies seeking legal security;

  • Institutional capital, including regulated banks and funds;

  • Innovation in financial products based on blockchain.

This would consolidate the U.S. as a global center for Web3 development, asset tokenization, and stablecoin expansion.

Impact on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins

Bitcoin (BTC): Although it is not the direct focus of these laws, BTC benefits from a more predictable environment. Lower regulatory risk increases institutional investors' interest, and legal momentum may facilitate products such as ETFs and BTC-based investment vehicles.

Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL): As central infrastructures for DeFi, NFTs, and stablecoins, they may see an increase in demand. Regulation drives the creation of new tokenized assets and strengthens the use of smart contracts.

Stablecoins: They are the most directly affected. They will have to adapt to new requirements, such as full backing and audits, but the outcome tends to be positive: more trust, adoption by institutions, and greater integration with traditional banks and companies.

What investors should watch for this week

  • Voting calendar: The GENIUS Act is expected to be voted on Friday, while other projects are discussed until Thursday;

  • Price volatility: The market can react quickly to advances or setbacks in each proposal;

  • Position of legislators: Partisan debate can accelerate or slow down approval;

  • Signs of institutional adoption: Legal definitions can unlock investments from funds, banks, and companies;

  • International reactions: Regions such as the European Union, Latin America, and Asia could adapt their regulations based on what is approved in the U.S.

A turning point for the crypto ecosystem

Crypto Week 2025 could become a true breaking point for the sector. With the possible approval of the GENIUS Act, CLARITY Act, and Anti-CBDC Act, the United States shows that it is willing to constructively regulate a market that previously operated in legal gray areas.

For developers, users, and investors — including retail ones — this represents more security, predictability, and room for innovation. If the world's largest financial market takes on regulatory leadership, the rest of the planet will closely follow its steps.

And even if you're not a large investment fund, you can take advantage of this opportunity if you know how to position yourself in time.
