U.S. CRYPTO LEGISLATION: GENIUS & CLARITY Acts
What happened: The bipartisan GENIUS Act (stablecoin rules and federal oversight) was signed into law on July 18, 2025. Concurrently, Crypto Week in the House saw debate of the CLARITY Act and Anti‑CBDC Surveillance Act.
Why it matters: These bills establish a clearer legal framework for stablecoins and exchanges. They mark the first major U.S. crypto legislation, signaling a shift from ambiguity to structural oversight.
Looking ahead: As regulations tighten, compliant projects could thrive while riskier tokens may face exclusion. U.S. legislative leadership could reshape global token standards.
