U.S. Advances Cryptocurrency Regulation with GENIUS and CLARITY Acts

The U.S. House of Representatives has approved the GENIUS and CLARITY Acts, marking a pivotal moment for cryptocurrency regulation. Supported by bipartisan consensus, these frameworks aim to legitimize and stabilize the digital asset market. Stablecoin regulation under GENIUS, previously endorsed by the Senate, passed with 102 Democrats and 206 Republicans in favor. The STABLE Act was sidelined to accelerate legislative progress.

President Trump is set to ceremonially sign GENIUS into law tomorrow, cementing a regulated environment for traditional finance to engage with cryptocurrencies. The U.S. simultaneously reinforced its anti-CBDC stance, citing surveillance risks. This regulatory clarity is expected to attract institutional capital, further integrating crypto into mainstream finance.
