🏛️ What is "Crypto Week"?
The House of Representatives has branded July 14–18, 2025 as “Crypto Week”, during which lawmakers plan to debate and vote on three major cryptocurrency-related bills
These $bills aim to establish clear rules for stablecoins, market structure, and block any U.S. central bank digital currency (CBDC)
📜 Bills on the Agenda
GENIUS Act (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act)
#Passed the Senate 68–30.
⚡️Would require stablecoins to be fully backed by liquid reserves, audited, and properly disclosed
🎬If the House votes to adopt the Senate version, it goes directly to the President—potentially making it law as soon as next week
🤝Clarity Act (Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025)
🔦Seeks to resolve jurisdictional overlap between the SEC and CFTC, defining clear regulatory authority
#Passed out of relevant committees with strong bipartisan support and is expected to move to a full House vote
⚠️Anti‑CBDC Surveillance State Act
👉Intends to prohibit the Federal Reserve from issuing a U.S. CBDC, citing concerns over privacy and government control
📌Additionally, on July 16, the House Ways & Means Committee will hold hearings focused on crypto taxation, aiming to build a tax framework tailored for digital assets
🏦 Market & Industry Impact
#BTC
🏆Bitcoin recently hit new all-time highs (~$118,000+), driven largely by optimism surrounding Crypto Week
💄Broader crypto equities—Ethereum, Solana, XRP—and listed crypto companies like MicroStrategy, Riot, Hut 8, Mara—also saw sharp gains
🛢Institutional capital inflows
#Bitcoin #ETFs have surged (over $1.18 billion recently), helping fuel the rally
🌏The industry has rallied collectively through lobbying efforts, including open letters and advocacy campaigns, to press lawmakers to act swiftly
⚖️ Political Context
🏗The initiative enjoys bipartisan support, although some consumer advocates caution that the legislation may tilt in favor of industry over consumers
The Trump administration has signaled strong approval, with support for stables, executive orders banning CBDC, and a pro-crypto regulatory approach
🔍 Why It Matters?
⚡️These bills, if passed and signed, would mark the first comprehensive U.S. crypto regulatory framework—creating clarity and security for market participants
📌The GENIUS Act, in particular, could be the first standalone stablecoin law governing full-reserve requirements
📌Clear jurisdiction lines (SEC vs. CFTC) and CBDC prohibitions could reshape how crypto is regulated and adopted in national finance
📌Regulatory momentum could unlock further institutional investment and business adoption in the sector
