Trump Secures Republican Support for Crypto Bills After Initial Setback

President Donald Trump brokered a crucial agreement with Republican lawmakers to advance three cryptocurrency bills following initial resistance over central bank digital currency (CBDC) concerns. The House will reconvene Wednesday for another vote after Tuesday's procedural failure.

Thirteen Republicans initially opposed the legislation, demanding explicit CBDC prohibitions. Trump's Oval Office meeting with 11 dissenters yielded unanimous support. "All agreed to vote tomorrow morning in favor of the Rule," TRUMP announced on Truth Social.

The legislative package includes the GENIUS Act, Anti-CBDC Surveillance Act, and CLARITY Act—key components of "Crypto Week." Democrats counter with "anti-crypto corruption week" opposition. House Speaker Mike Johnson acknowledged Trump's pivotal role in securing consensus.
