Historic Win for Crypto: U.S. House Passes Three Landmark Bills
The U.S. House of Representatives made history on July 17, 2025, by passing three cryptocurrency bills, marking a significant step toward regulatory clarity for the digital asset industry. The bills, passed during what was dubbed "Crypto Week," include:
GENIUS Act (308-122): Establishes a regulatory framework for stablecoins, cryptocurrencies pegged to assets like the U.S. dollar to reduce volatility. Already passed by the Senate, it now awaits President Donald Trump’s signature.
CLARITY Act (294-134): Defines when a cryptocurrency is a security (overseen by the SEC) or a commodity (regulated by the CFTC), addressing long-standing industry disputes. This bill now heads to the Senate.
Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act (219-210): Prohibits the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency, citing privacy concerns. This bill also requires Senate approval.
These votes, following intense lobbying from the crypto industry and President Trump’s personal intervention, signal a shift toward a more crypto-friendly regulatory environment under his administration. Trump, who has championed the U.S. as the “crypto capital of the world,” met with Republican holdouts to secure their support after a procedural snag earlier in the week.
The passage has sparked bullish sentiment across markets, with Bitcoin surpassing $120,000 and the total crypto market cap hitting $4 trillion. The industry views this as a watershed moment, boosting institutional investment and mainstream adoption. However, critics, including some Democrats, argue the regulations may favor corporate interests and lack sufficient consumer protections.
Bitcoin Adoption Soars in Q2 2025 Exciting news for the crypto community! According to Bitwise Corporate Adoption Q2 2025 report, Bitcoin adoption is on the rise. A total of 125 companies now hold Bitcoin, with 46 new companies joining in the last quarter. The total Bitcoin holdings reached 847K, valued at $91B, showing a 23.1% increase QoQ. Key developments include: Strategy adds 80,000 BTC in Q2. Twenty One debuts with $68M raise. MicroStrategy and Sony make significant Bitcoin trades.

🚀 The Future of 24/7 Trading: Solana Leads the Financial Revolution!
A historic step is reshaping the future of global finance! The Solana Policy Institute, alongside Superstate, Orca, and Phantom, has officially submitted highly detailed legal proposals to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as part of Project Open!
📚 This isn’t just a dry legal document—it’s a bold vision for how we’ll trade in the future. Imagine this: Stocks, bonds, funds… all tokenized and tradable 24/7, with instant settlement and significantly lower costs!
💬 As Miller Whitehouse-Levine, CEO of Solana Policy Institute, passionately stated: "By clarifying the distinction between blockchain infrastructure and traditional intermediaries, we’re paving a clear path for the SEC to foster innovation while ensuring robust investor protection."
This marks the first serious effort to establish a legal framework for a decentralized financial future, where markets never close, and billions of dollars are no longer tied up in settlement delays.
