The upcoming Crypto Week, scheduled for July 14–18, could mark a historic milestone for the future of digital assets in the United States. Bo Hines, Executive Director of the President’s Council of Advisors on Digital Assets, believes this week will be pivotal in establishing America as the global crypto capital.
“Time to Make America the Crypto Capital,” Says Bo HinesBo Hines stated that this week will play a critical role in the country’s aim to become the global crypto capital.
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), Hines highlighted the legislative momentum behind two key bills: the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act. According to him, the GENIUS Act is now heading to the President’s desk, while the CLARITY Act is moving to the Senate floor.
“Huge week ahead — it’s Crypto Week in the House! GENIUS heads to the President’s desk. CLARITY moves to the Senate. Time to make America the Crypto Capital of the World,” said Bo Hines.
A Week of Legislative Milestones for Crypto
Last week, the U.S. House of Representatives officially declared July 14–18 as Crypto Week. During this period, lawmakers are expected to review and advance three major pieces of legislation aimed at reshaping the digital asset landscape in the U.S.:
-
GENIUS Act: A groundbreaking bill that could become the first federal stablecoin law in U.S. history. It introduces a comprehensive framework for issuing and regulating dollar-backed stablecoins.
-
CLARITY Act: Aims to resolve regulatory uncertainty by clearly defining the roles of the SEC and CFTC in overseeing cryptocurrencies and digital markets.
-
Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act: Proposes a nationwide ban on issuing a CBDC (central bank digital currency), with a strong emphasis on protecting Americans’ financial privacy.
Political Division: “Anti-Crypto Corruption Week”
While Crypto Week is gaining traction, opposition is mounting. Democratic Representatives Maxine Waters and Stephen Lynch have launched an alternative campaign titled “Anti-Crypto Corruption Week”, opposing both the GENIUS and CLARITY Acts. The movement underscores the growing partisan divide on crypto policy in the U.S.
Experts: These Bills Could Secure U.S. Leadership in Digital Assets
Analysts argue that passing the GENIUS and CLARITY Acts would provide the regulatory clarity needed to propel U.S. leadership in the crypto space. Bryan Steil, Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Digital Assets, stated:
“The Golden Age of digital assets is here. The CLARITY Act will unleash innovation and ensure U.S. dominance in digital assets while protecting consumers from fraud.”
Likewise, House Financial Services Chairman Patrick McHenry, a strong supporter of the Anti-CBDC bill, emphasized:
“This legislation is simple. It prevents unelected bureaucrats from issuing a CBDC that threatens Americans’ right to financial privacy.”
