U.S. Lawmakers Kick Off ‘Crypto Week’ With Three Key Bills on the Table
The U.S. House has launched its inaugural 'Crypto Week,' spotlighting digital asset legislation with three pivotal bills under consideration. The CLARITY Act seeks to resolve the securities-versus-commodities debate, providing regulatory clarity for crypto tokens and shielding developers from unforeseen legal hurdles.
Meanwhile, the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act aims to curb potential government overreach by restricting transactional surveillance capabilities in any future central bank digital currency. Privacy advocates hail it as a critical safeguard in an increasingly digital financial landscape.
The GENIUS Act, already Senate-approved, rounds out the legislative push. In a parallel development, federal banking regulators have authorized institutions to custody crypto—a watershed moment for institutional adoption.
