This week—July 14–18—marks U.S. Crypto Week, as lawmakers in Washington, D.C., prepare to debate and vote on three major crypto-focused bills. First up is the GENIUS Act, which would establish federal oversight for stablecoin issuers with reserve and audit requirements, having already passed the Senate.
Alongside it, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act aims to clarify SEC vs. CFTC regulatory roles, and the Anti‑CBDC Surveillance State Act would block any U.S. central bank digital currency.
Key hearings include one on July 16 by the House Ways & Means Committee to discuss crypto taxation frameworks. The industry and advocacy groups are actively lobbying, pushing for swift passage while highlighting consumer protection concerns . With Bitcoin recently hovering near all-time highs (~$118K), anticipation is high that concrete regulation could usher in institutional confidence and broader market stability.
This pivotal week could reshape U.S. crypto policy and market dynamics.
