Reinventing the Crypto Wheel: US Congress Approves Landmark Crypto Legislation in Overwhelming Bipartisan Move

In an unprecedented move, the US Congress approved the first-ever federal legislation designed to regulate the evolving crypto industry. This landmark event signifies lawmakers’ evolving sentiment towards cryptocurrency as legitimacy and widespread adoption become focal discussion points. The Genius Act, adopting the House of Representatives’ seal of approval in an overwhelming bipartisan vote of 308 to 122, places standards on stablecoins, a variant of cryptocurrency tethered to the US dollar value.

Bearing endorsement from President Donald Trump and leading crypto firms like Coinbase and Circle, the bill is now traversing the corridors away from the House and onto the President’s desk. Upon arrival, and subsequent signing, it will cement its position as the premier pivotal piece of crypto legislation in US history.

The strides made by both bills epitomize an eventful week beset with tensions, highlighting reservations from lawmakers in President Trump’s party over the potential risks of strengthened government surveillance on crypto activities. Following lengthy negotiations, the bills both acquired the needed consent, setting a new record for the longest vote in the House’s history. The enactment of these key legislations not only signifies a shifting stance but also the beginning of a crucial phase in the narrative of the crypto industry.
