Congress Set to Tackle Key Crypto Bills During Landmark ‘Crypto Week’
As the U.S. House of Representatives prepares for a pivotal “Crypto Week,” lawmakers are expected to debate—and potentially vote on—three major bills that could define the future of digital asset regulation in the United States. The crypto industry, sensing a rare window of bipartisan momentum, is making a final push to turn years of advocacy into actual legislation.
Dubbed “Crypto Week” by Republican leadership, the legislative sprint is scheduled to run Monday through Friday and could deliver long-awaited clarity to an industry that has operated in regulatory limbo.
At the center of the debate are three key proposals:
-
The CLARITY Act, which outlines the roles of the SEC and CFTC in overseeing crypto markets.
-
The GENIUS Act, which establishes a federal framework for stablecoins and has already passed the Senate.
-
The Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, which would block the creation of a U.S. central bank digital currency.
“This is the most momentum we’ve ever seen,” said Mason Lynaugh, community director at Stand With Crypto, a nonprofit backed by Coinbase. “The attention, focus, and bipartisan support are unprecedented—but the urgency is very real. If we don’t act now, we may miss the opportunity to finally bring clarity to crypto in the U.S.”
In a show of unified support, more than 65 crypto companies and advocacy organizations submitted a letter to House leaders ahead of the debate, urging swift passage of the CLARITY Act. The bill addresses long-standing industry concerns, including how token launches are regulated and what qualifies as decentralization.
With over 50 million Americans now holding digital assets, crypto has quietly become a mainstream issue—and one that cuts across party lines. Lynaugh emphasized the movement’s grassroots momentum, noting that over 70,000 emails were sent to senators in recent weeks by Stand With Crypto’s 2.2 million advocates.
“Crypto is not a partisan issue,” he said. “It’s about innovation, economic competitiveness, and consumer protection. And right now, we have a real chance to get this right.”
As Congress heads into one of its final working weeks before the August recess, the crypto industry sees this as a defining moment—possibly the best shot yet at securing regulatory clarity in a rapidly growing sector.
