Breaking: GENIUS Act Could Ride CLARITY Bill Wave to U.S. House Approval

Washington’s latest crypto chess move just got interesting. The GENIUS Act—a long-shot proposal to streamline blockchain innovation—might hitch a ride on the more popular CLARITY Bill to avoid dying in committee. Smart play or legislative Hail Mary? We break it down.

Why This Matters

CLARITY’s momentum could drag GENIUS across the finish line. One bill clarifies crypto regulations (yawn), while the other fast-tracks patent approvals for decentralized tech (now we’re talking). Together? A rare bipartisan crypto win—or another excuse for lobbyists to bill 300 hours.

The Bottom Line

D.C. finally realizes blockchains won’t legislate themselves. Whether this combo platter becomes law or just another ‘future of finance’ hearing snack remains to be seen. Either way, the SEC’s enforcement division just ordered more red ink.

After the Senate passed the GENIUS Act, now, it has now gone to the House of Representatives. But the real twist is coming next. The House might combine it with the powerful CLARITY Act, a bill that could redefine how every crypto asset is treated in the U.S.

Together, these two bills could bring long-needed rules and clarity to the crypto space in America.

Let’s see how this will impact crypto?

Two Bills, One Goal: Crypto Regulation

The GENIUS Act made history on June 17 when the Senate passed it with a 51–23 vote. It’s the first big crypto bill to pass the chamber and is now in the hands of the House. If approved without changes, it will be sent directly to the president’s desk for final approval.

But that’s where things get complicated.

Tom Emmer, a key House leader, has suggested the bill’s success in the House may depend on its alignment with the CLARITY Act. 

The CLARITY Act, officially known as the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025, has already passed the House Financial Services Committee and is awaiting a full House vote. 

Why This Bill Matters

Tom Emmer says both bills should MOVE together. He believes combining the two will give a full and clear structure for crypto in the country. This bill gives full guidelines on how all kinds of crypto and digital assets should be used, bought, or traded in the US.

Trump’s Push vs Political Concerns

However, President Donald TRUMP wants the House to pass the GENIUS Act quickly, without any additions. But not everyone agrees. Some lawmakers are concerned about Trump’s crypto ties, especially with World Liberty Financial’s stablecoin project.

To limit the involvement of political leaders in the crypto space, Senator Adam Schiff introduced the COIN Act on June 23. This bill aims to stop presidents and their families from making money through crypto while holding office.

What Most People Don’t Know

If these laws pass, the U.S. could finally fix the messy patchwork of rules that make it hard for new crypto companies to start. Right now, a company has to follow different rules in every state, which is expensive and slow. 

With one national rule, it could be much easier for new ideas to grow—and for you to use digital money safely.
