Catenaa, Sunday, July 13, 2025-House Republicans have declared the week of July 14 as “Crypto Week,” aiming to accelerate the passage of three major bills that could define the future of digital assets in the United States.
The legislative push follows the recent approval of President Donald Trump’s economic package known as the “Big Beautiful Bill.”
Lawmakers will focus on the CLARITY Act, the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, and the GENIUS Act.
These bills collectively seek to provide clear rules for digital asset markets, curb federal authority over cryptocurrency oversight, and block the issuance of a U.S. central bank digital currency (CBDC).
Rep. French Hill (R-AR), Chair of the House Financial Services Committee, said the measures represent years of bipartisan groundwork to establish a coherent regulatory framework. GT Thompson (R-PA), Chair of the House Agriculture Committee, added that Congress now has an opportunity to “deliver CLARITY to the American people.”
The Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, championed by Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN), passed out of committee in April. It aims to prevent the Federal Reserve from issuing a digital dollar, citing concerns over mass surveillance and privacy erosion. Emmer argued the legislation protects individual financial sovereignty while promoting blockchain innovation on U.S. soil.
Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), a longtime crypto advocate, welcomed the move, saying the federal effort aligns with state-level innovation in places like Wyoming. She added that Congress must ensure any CBDC respects financial freedom.
The three bills represent a cornerstone of the Trump administration’s effort to make the U.S. a global hub for cryptocurrency and Web3 leadership.
