Crypto Week: Why Is US House Of Representatives Observing Crypto Week

The sharp rise in Bitcoin prices, reaching an all-time high of $123,000 earlier this week, indicates an increased investor interest in cryptocurrency. The increase also correlates with the rising worldwide sentiment and active policy talks in the United States, where the US House of Representatives will debate on three major crypto bills during this week, informally known as Crypto Week.

What Is Crypto Week

The US House of Representatives is dedicating a full week, informally known as “Crypto Week,” to focus on digital asset legislation. Lawmakers will review and debate three major bills as part of the process: the CLARITY Act, the GENIUS Act, and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act this week. These bills aim to define how cryptocurrencies, Stablecoins, and potential central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) should be regulated moving forward.

The initiative is being led by Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill, Agriculture Committee Chairman GT Thompson, and House Speaker Mike Johnson. They say the goal is to bring clarity to the regulatory landscape for digital assets, address consumer protections, and set guardrails for future developments like CBDCs.

Crypto Bills Under Consideration

Earlier in a statement issued on July 3, 2025, the House leadership had said that the House of Representatives will consider three important pieces of legislation relating to digital assets. These bills aim to provide a clearer regulatory framework and address policy concerns tied to the evolving crypto ecosystem.

The CLARITY Act, which was formed through both Financial Services and Agriculture Committees, seeks to provide a clear regulatory framework to regulate digital assets. Lawmakers backing the bill say it reflects years of discussions with market participants, legal experts, and government stakeholders, and is intended to provide a consistent framework for innovators, regulators, and investors.

The GENIUS Act, which originated in the Senate, is also up for consideration. While the House release does not go into detail, lawmakers have grouped it alongside Stablecoin-focused legislation. Supporters suggest the bill is intended to set standards for the issuance of dollar-backed stablecoins and help strengthen consumer protections.

The Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act is aimed at blocking the creation of a US CBDC. According to statements from the House leadership, the bill is intended to safeguard Americans’ financial privacy and preserve individual autonomy in the digital economy.

Each of these bills is being brought to the House floor this week, with votes expected as part of the broader legislative push during Crypto Week.
