Crypto Week Hits Capitol Hill: U.S. Lawmakers Push for Regulatory Clarity

Washington is finally getting serious about crypto. The House of Representatives has declared the week of July 14th as “Crypto Week”, with lawmakers moving to advance a trio of long-anticipated bills aimed at setting a clear regulatory foundation for digital assets.

On the agenda:

• The CLARITY Act (market structure)

• The Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act (bans a U.S. central bank digital currency)

• The Senate’s GENIUS Act (focused on innovation and consumer protection)

The message from House leadership is loud and clear — the U.S. wants to be the global leader in digital assets, and it’s ready to legislate like one. Spearheaded by House Financial Services Chair French Hill, Agriculture Chair GT Thompson, and backed by the Trump administration, the package is designed to deliver regulatory certainty, safeguard financial privacy, and support U.S.-based Web3 innovation.

This marks a major step forward after years of committee hearings, roundtables, and bipartisan wrangling. Lawmakers are betting that a well-defined framework for stablecoins, token issuance, and decentralized finance can unlock growth while protecting retail and institutional investors alike.

With the CLARITY Act and GENIUS Act heading to a House vote, and momentum building in the Senate, "Crypto Week" could be a pivotal moment in how the U.S. shapes its digital asset future. The crypto industry, long hungry for regulatory clarity, is finally getting its moment in the spotlight.
