BREAKING: US House Greenlights Crypto Power Trio — GENIUS, CLARITY, and Anti-CBDC Bills Shake Up Finance

Washington just fired a triple-shot espresso into crypto's veins. The House slammed through three landmark bills that could redefine digital asset regulation—while giving central bank digital currencies the cold shoulder.

GENIUS and CLARITY aim to carve out clearer rules for blockchain innovation, while the Anti-CBDC measure draws a hard line against government-issued digital currencies. Because nothing says 'financial freedom' like Congress playing bouncer at the monetary policy nightclub.

Wall Street analysts are already placing bets on which banking lobbyist will pivot to 'blockchain consultant' by Monday morning. The bills now face Senate scrutiny—where good tech policy goes to die of old age.

🚨BREAKING (I rarely use that term anymore, but this time I think it’s warranted😁): All *three* crypto bills just passed the House and the GENIUS Act is now headed to @realDonaldTrump’s desk to become the first major piece of crypto legislation signed into law.

Despite the…

In particular, the GENIUS Act, which creates a regulatory framework for stablecoins in the United States, was supported by 308 congressmen, 122 were against, while 102 Democrats voted in favor.

According to Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terrett, the document is already on its way to US President Donald TRUMP for his signature. It will be the first major crypto regulation law in the country’s history.

At the same time, the CLARITY Act, which defines the legal status of crypto assets, was passed by a vote of 294 to 134, with 78 Democrats, which is twice the support for a similar project last year, FIT21.

Meanwhile, the Anti-CBDC Act, which prohibits the US Federal Reserve from independently issuing central bank digital currency (CBDC), passed by a narrow margin: 219 votes in favor, 210 against, with only two Democrats supporting the initiative.

Delphine Forma, Head of Policy Europe at Solidus Labs, called the vote a landmark in a commentary for Incrypted:

“These milestone votes represent more than a legislative victory — they reflect growing consensus that responsible digital asset innovation is critical to the future of finance and American economic leadership.”

According to her, the GENIUS Act is a key step towards:

  • “Defining the relationship between stablecoins — the most widely adopted digital asset to date — and the banking system”;
  • “Establishing robust consumer protection, market integrity, and financial crime guardrails, leveraging blockchain transparency for smarter, less intrusive oversight”;
  • “Ushering in a new era of tokenized assets and on-chain finance that is safer, more inclusive, and more efficient.”

“The bipartisan backing of these measures sends a strong message: USD-backed stablecoins are central to boosting global demand for the dollar and enabling accessible, trusted digital financial infrastructure,” she added.

The signing ceremony of the GENIUS Act is scheduled for 18 July at the WHITE House and will be a “happy ending to Cryptocurrency Week,” as Terrett described the event.

It is expected that other bills will also receive further support in the Senate or as part of other legislative initiatives.

We WOULD like to remind you that on the eve of the final vote, the House of Representatives initially failed a procedural vote, but later approved the relevant decision.
