Congress set to debate 3 major bills in US crypto week as industry pushes for clarity

The US House of Representatives will dedicate next week to debating three major crypto bills, dubbed “US crypto week” by Republican leaders.

From Monday to Friday, lawmakers will scrutinize the CLARITY Act (defining crypto market oversight), the GENIUS Act (a stablecoin framework), and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act (blocking a US digital dollar). With bipartisan support but limited time before recess, the industry sees US crypto week as a make-or-break moment.

“We’re seeing unbelievable momentum and bipartisan focus on crypto,” — Mason Lynaugh, Community Director at Stand With Crypto, told journalists. “But the urgency is real—we must finish this mission.”

The bills at the heart of US crypto week

1. CLARITY Act: Clarifies roles for the SEC and CFTC, addressing long-standing jurisdiction gaps.

2. GENIUS Act: Establishes federal stablecoin rules, already approved by the Senate.

3. Anti-CBDC Act: Bans a US central bank digital currency over privacy concerns.

According to the official announcement, advocacy groups, including Stand With Crypto and 65+ organizations, submitted a letter urging House support for the CLARITY Act. Lynaugh emphasized its scope: “This bill answers critical questions: What is decentralization? How do token launches work?”

Industry’s last-ditch lobbying push

The US crypto week comes after months of grassroots mobilization. Stand With Crypto reports:

• 50 million US crypto owners.

• 2.2 million advocates.

• 70,000 emails sent to senators.

“Crypto shouldn’t be politicized,” Lynaugh argued. “The data shows bipartisan voter interest.” Yet, with Congress’s pre-recess window narrowing, failure to act could leave the industry in limbo. “If these bills don’t pass, we’re back to square one,” he warned.

What’s next after US crypto week?

Experts say the GENIUS Act has the highest chance of passage, given Senate backing. However, the CLARITY Act faces tougher scrutiny over SEC-CFTC turf battles. Meanwhile, the Anti-CBDC bill taps into growing GOP skepticism of federal digital currencies.

“US crypto week isn’t just about legislation—it’s about proving crypto is a policy priority,” said a DC-based lobbyist who requested anonymity. “The industry needs wins to sustain momentum.”
