House GOP Pushes Through Crypto Bills After CBDC Concerns Addressed

Reading time: < 1 minute

Republicans in the House rallied late Wednesday to advance three major crypto bills, overcoming earlier resistance from conservatives wary of unintended CBDC implications.

The GENIUS Act, Clarity Act, and Anti-CBDC bill are now headed for a Thursday vote after H.Res 580 passed 217-212.

The GENIUS Act, set to regulate stablecoins, could become law within days if the House and Senate agree. Meanwhile, the Clarity Act defines crypto oversight roles, and the Anti-CBDC bill explicitly blocks the Fed from issuing a retail digital currency—a key GOP priority.

Some Republicans had initially opposed the package, fearing the GENIUS Act might enable a CBDC, but sponsors assured them it would not. The Senate will have the final say.
