Crypto Week Begins on Capitol Hill: What to Expect
TL;DR
Lawmakers in the U.S. House are debating major crypto bills during "Crypto Week"
The key focus is on regulating stablecoins and defining agency roles via the GENIUS and CLARITY Acts
Washington is turning its attention to digital assets this week as the U.S. House of Representatives launches what’s being informally called “Crypto Week.” Over the next several days, lawmakers will take up a series of legislative proposals that could have sweeping implications for how cryptocurrencies and blockchain-based assets are regulated across the country.
Crypto Week on Capitol Hill
At the heart of the week’s agenda are two closely watched bills. The first is legislation aimed at regulating stablecoins, which are digital tokens pegged to fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar. The GENIUS Act seeks to establish clear guidelines for issuance, reserve requirements, and oversight.
The second is The Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act, which was introduced in May 2025 with bipartisan support, and aims to provide long-overdue regulatory certainty for digital asset markets. It establishes clear roles for the SEC and CFTC, creating defined pathways for digital asset developers and customer-facing firms to operate legally in the U.S.
The timing is crucial. As countries like the UK, EU, and Singapore advance comprehensive crypto frameworks, pressure is mounting for the U.S. to keep pace. For the crypto industry, “Crypto Week” could signal whether Congress is ready to move past gridlock, and toward meaningful, bipartisan progress on digital asset policy.
