U.S. House Declares “Crypto Week” to Vote on Major Blockchain Bills
The U.S. House of Representatives is currently hosting a special session dubbed “Crypto Week”, focusing on three pivotal bills that could reshape the future of cryptocurrency regulation in the United States. This legislative push is being led by House Republicans, aiming to bring more clarity, oversight, and boundaries to the evolving crypto sector.
The three major bills include:
The Clarity for Payment Stablecoins Act – a bill designed to regulate stablecoins by providing a federal framework while also preserving state oversight.
The Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act – which seeks to define roles between the SEC and CFTC, potentially resolving long-standing disputes over regulatory jurisdiction.
The Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act – aimed at banning the introduction of a U.S. central bank digital currency (CBDC), which critics fear could erode financial privacy.
Supporters argue that these bills are necessary to protect innovation and ensure the U.S. remains competitive in the global crypto economy. Meanwhile, critics warn that several provisions may weaken consumer protections and give too much power to crypto companies at the expense of oversight.
Crypto lobbying groups, particularly those from Silicon Valley and major exchanges, are reportedly backing the initiative, viewing it as a major opportunity to formalize crypto’s role in U.S. markets.
With the spotlight on Congress this week, these bills—if passed—could set the stage for long-term national crypto policy, potentially impacting millions of investors and tech companies. While the final outcome is still uncertain, “Crypto Week” signifies the U.S. government’s growing urgency to engage with digital asset issues in a structured, legislative manner.
