Crypto Week in the U.S.: What Does It Mean for a Latino Trader with Little Capital?
Since I started trading with less than 100 USDT, I have learned that it's not all about green candles. In countries like mine —in Latin America— where inflation and devaluation are part of everyday life, cryptocurrencies have been a real alternative for saving, investing, and even generating income. That’s why what happens in the #USCryptoWeek، in the U.S. (from July 14 to 18) is of great importance to me, even though I am thousands of kilometers away.
The laws that the House of Representatives will debate could mark the first serious regulation of crypto in that country. The CLARITY Act aims to define whether tokens are securities or commodities; the GENIUS Act, to regulate stablecoins like USDT or USDC; and the Anti-CBDC Act, to stop the creation of a digital dollar.
For someone like me, this has real impacts. If the GENIUS Act is approved, it could give more confidence to stablecoins, which are the refuge for those of us who do not want to see our savings disappear with the local currency. That would be positive: more stability, more adoption, and more capital inflow into the ecosystem.
But there is also uncertainty. If these laws strengthen the control of authorities, there could be more restrictions, more KYC, less privacy, and even limitations on access from countries like mine. The fear is that regulation does not turn into exclusion.
Still, I prefer to view this with hope. Because if the U.S. takes a step forward, the rest of the world —including our governments— will have to take cryptocurrencies seriously, especially the $BTC . And that, in the long run, could open doors that today seem closed.
As a small trader, I cannot change the rules. But I can inform myself, adapt, and continue operating with vision. This week is not only key for the U.S.; it is also crucial for all of us who live off the blockchain at the margins.
