US Congress votes again on landmark crypto laws!
On July 17, 2025, the US Congress voted again on the important crypto laws GENIUS and CLARITY Act. This vote was made possible by a special motion previously approved by a majority of MPs. A total of 215 MPs voted for the motion, while 211 were against it. The votes are a crucial step in the so-called “Crypto Week,” which is intended to spur progress on three key crypto laws, which include the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act. This week began with a joint statement from federal banking authorities on safely providing crypto asset custody services to banks.
The legislation coming up for a vote in the House of Representatives could have far-reaching implications for crypto regulation in the country. The CLARITY Act focuses on the regulatory responsibilities of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) with respect to crypto. A vote on this law is scheduled for Wednesday. The GENIUS Act, on the other hand, aims to create a uniform regulatory framework for stablecoins in the US, a measure that already received bipartisan support in the US Senate in June.
Regulatory advances
A central concern of these legislative initiatives is to better regulate the growing crypto market and create a clear framework for digital assets. The GENIUS Act could have a particularly significant impact on Ethereum (ETH), as Ethereum is the primary platform for stablecoins. US President Donald Trump has also signaled that he would be willing to sign the law if it passes.
In addition to these initiatives, the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, which would prohibit the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency (CBDC), is also under consideration. A vote on this proposal is also scheduled for Wednesday. The proposed laws thus reflect a growing consensus about the need for a clear framework for the crypto industry, which could also shape the US's position in the global crypto ecosystem.
The previously failed vote now means that the laws must be approved by the US government and the President. In the last vote, 13 Republican lawmakers voted against the proposals while 11 abstained. The dynamics in the political landscape show clear progress in the acceptance and regulation of digital assets in the US.
