The United States House of Representatives has officially designated the week of July 14, 2025, as “Crypto Week,” setting the stage for what many are calling the most consequential series of digital asset votes in American legislative history. House Committee on Financial Services Chairman French Hill (AR-02) and House Committee on Agriculture Chairman GT Thompson (PA-15) made the joint announcement on July 3, sending an unmistakable signal that Congress is ready to deliver on President Trump’s promise to make America the “crypto capital of the world.”
TL;DR
- The US House has officially scheduled “Crypto Week” for the week of July 14, 2025
- Three landmark bills will be considered: the GENIUS Act, the CLARITY Act, and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act
- The GENIUS Act establishes the first federal regulatory framework for dollar-backed payment stablecoins
- The CLARITY Act creates a comprehensive market structure for digital assets, defining SEC and CFTC jurisdiction
- The Anti-CBDC bill permanently blocks the creation of a US Central Bank Digital Currency
Three Bills, One Transformative Week
The scope of what House Leadership plans to bring to the floor is unprecedented. Each bill addresses a different pillar of the digital asset ecosystem, and together they form a regulatory framework that has been years in the making.
The GENIUS Act (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins) is the stablecoin regulation bill that has already passed the Senate with bipartisan support. It creates the first-ever federal regulatory framework for payment stablecoins, establishing clear rules for issuance, reserve requirements, and consumer protection. Industry groups have largely praised the bill for providing the clarity that stablecoin issuers like Circle and Paxos have been seeking for years.
The CLARITY Act (Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025) is arguably the most ambitious piece of the trio. It draws a bright line between the jurisdictions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), ending years of regulatory ambiguity that has left crypto companies operating in a gray zone. The bill establishes clear definitions for digital commodities versus digital securities and creates a pathway for tokens to transition from one classification to another as networks decentralize.
The Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act takes a more ideological approach, permanently prohibiting the Federal Reserve from issuing a Central Bank Digital Currency. Supporters argue that a government-controlled digital currency would enable financial surveillance and threaten individual privacy, a position that has become a rallying cry for crypto advocates aligned with the current administration.
Bipartisan Momentum Behind the Legislation
Speaker Mike Johnson praised the coordinated effort between the Financial Services and Agriculture Committees, crediting the “close partnership” between Chairmen Hill and Thompson for advancing what he called President Trump’s “digital assets and cryptocurrency agenda.”
Majority Leader Steve Scalise emphasized the pro-growth dimension of the legislation, framing it as part of a broader agenda to provide regulatory certainty that will keep blockchain innovation on American soil. The sentiment has been echoed by Majority Whip Tom Emmer, a long-time crypto advocate who described the upcoming votes as a “historic opportunity” for the United States.
“After years of work, American innovators are one step closer to having the clarity they need to build here at home while ensuring the future of the digital economy reflects our values of privacy, individual sovereignty, and free-market competitiveness,” Emmer stated.
Market Reaction and Industry Expectations
Bitcoin is trading around $108,156 on July 4, with the broader crypto market digesting the implications of the announcement. While the holiday weekend has tempered immediate trading volatility, analysts expect the lead-up to Crypto Week to generate significant momentum as traders price in the regulatory clarity that these bills would provide.
Stablecoin market participants are particularly focused on the GENIUS Act, which would establish federal standards that could consolidate the market around compliant issuers. The total stablecoin market cap has been growing steadily, and clear federal rules are expected to accelerate institutional adoption.
What Comes Next
If all three bills pass the House during Crypto Week, they will move to different next steps. The GENIUS Act, having already passed the Senate, would go directly to the President’s desk for signature. The CLARITY Act and Anti-CBDC bill would still need Senate approval, with the Senate expected to take up standalone market structure legislation by the end of September.
Chairman Hill has expressed readiness to work alongside the Senate, stating that the goal is to deliver comprehensive digital asset regulation that “safeguards consumers and investors, provides rules for the issuance and operation of dollar-backed payment stablecoins, and permanently blocks the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency.”
Why This Matters
The declaration of Crypto Week represents a turning point for digital asset regulation in the United States. After years of enforcement-driven ambiguity under previous administrations, Congress is now moving to create a legislative framework that could define the industry for decades. For investors, developers, and crypto companies, the coming week could finally provide the regulatory certainty that has been the missing piece in America’s crypto competitiveness puzzle. The three bills collectively address stablecoins, market structure, and financial privacy — the foundational elements of a mature digital asset economy. If signed into law, they would position the United States as the most comprehensively regulated yet pro-innovation crypto market in the world.

three bills in one week is ambitious. wonder how many reps actually understand what theyre voting on
gov track three bills in one week and most reps dont understand any of them. the Anti CBDC bill is the sleeper though. banning government digital currency while embracing private stablecoins is quite the ideological position
the Anti-CBDC bill is the sleeper here. banning central bank digital currencies while embracing stablecoins is quite the philosophical position
GENIUS Act already passed the Senate with bipartisan support. the real question is whether the House amends it into something unrecognizable
senate version passed 70-28 with amendments. house floor version is different. conference committee will be where the real fight happens
gov_whisper house amends it, senate already passed 70-28, conference committee is where the actual text gets written. most people dont realize the hard part is still ahead
anti-CBDC and pro-stablecoin in the same package. the philosophical gymnastics are impressive but politically genius
French Hill and GT Thompson coordinating this together is actually huge. Financial Services and Ag committees havent exactly played nice on crypto jurisdiction
three crypto bills on the floor in one week after years of nothing. election season does wonders for legislative urgency
trump promised crypto capital of the world. well this is how you actually do it, not tweets
0xlobbyist french hill and GT thompson coordinating is the real news. financial services and ag committees actually working together on crypto jurisdiction is unprecedented
three bills in one week and most reps cant explain what a stablecoin is. the Anti-CBDC bill passing alongside GENIUS is the real ideological flex
