GENIUS, CLARITY, and Anti-CBDC Acts Set for September Senate Vote
The U.S. Senate is poised for a pivotal month in cryptocurrency regulation, with the GENIUS Act already signed into law by President Trump and the CLARITY Act and Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act advancing toward a September vote. These legislative efforts aim to clarify regulatory oversight, establish stablecoin frameworks, and restrict the Federal Reserve's ability to issue a retail CBDC without congressional approval.
Market structure reforms under the CLARITY Act could end years of regulatory ambiguity, fostering innovation while strengthening consumer protections. Meanwhile, the Anti-CBDC bill reflects growing political resistance to centralized digital currencies—a stance increasingly echoed by crypto advocates and libertarians alike.
