Republican Leadership Announces "Crypto Week" for Key Digital Asset Bills

US House Republican leaders have designated the week of July 14-18 as "Crypto Week," during which they plan to advance three significant pieces of cryptocurrency legislation.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, alongside Financial Services Committee Chair French Hill and Agriculture Committee Chair Glenn Thompson, announced the initiative. The focus will be on moving forward bills concerning:

1. Stablecoin Regulation: Establishing a regulatory framework for stablecoins.

2. Digital Asset Market Structure: Defining rules for crypto markets and exchanges.

3. Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs): Addressing concerns and potential restrictions related to a US CBDC.

Speaker Johnson stated this effort fulfills part of former President Donald Trump's digital assets agenda. The specific bills slated for consideration include:

The **CLARITY Act** (likely addressing market structure).

The **Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act** (focused on CBDC concerns).

The **Senate's GENIUS Act** (presumably related to stablecoins or broader regulation, as it's noted as coming from the Senate).

Johnson described the planned legislation as "landmark pieces" crucial for the digital asset ecosystem.
