The GENIUS Act provides a national innovation framework for stablecoins. The CLARITY Act establishes legal infrastructure for the digital asset market. The Anti-CBDC bill aims to restrict the Federal Reserve’s development of a digital currency. 

Trump-Supported GENIUS Act Had Already Passed the Senate 

Former President Donald Trump had previously announced plans to rapidly advance his crypto agenda. As part of this, Republican lawmakers prepared a “crypto week” for this week and urged all party members to support the bills. 

The GENIUS Act had been approved by the Senate in June. Trump is expected to sign the bill on Friday, provided there are no further changes. Some Democrats criticized the process, citing conflicts of interest and corruption suspicions. 

Meanwhile, before the vote, some Republicans who demanded special regulations banning CBDCs temporarily blocked the process for several hours. However, the bills were ultimately approved with support from Republicans and more Democrats than expected. Approximately 80 Democrats voted “yes” for the CLARITY Act, and over 100 supported the GENIUS Act. 

CBDC Debates Intensify, FED in the Spotlight 

The Federal Reserve’s digital currency development has faced longstanding criticism from conservatives. The Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act argues that this development could be a “secret surveillance tool” and calls for its ban. Republican lawmakers support the bill on grounds of protecting individual privacy. 

However, many experts believe this bill risks blocking not only the FED but all digital currency initiatives. Meanwhile, actors in the tech and finance sectors believe these regulations could eliminate uncertainties for the digital asset ecosystem.

With the new system, users can start staking with only 1 dollar worth of ETH or SOL. This particularly facilitates small investors to earn passive income in the crypto space. Robinhood handles the infrastructure process itself and manages validator operations behind the scenes. 

ETH and SOL Staking Rewards, Restrictions, and Fees 

Ethereum staking rewards are reflected to Robinhood users at 50% to 100% of the network’s offered yield. These rates vary depending on the staking protocol’s performance. On the Solana staking side, the system directly passes the rewards offered by the protocol to users. 

However, this service is not yet available in some states. California, New Jersey, New York, Maryland, and Wisconsin are excluded from Robinhood’s staking services. When Robinhood will lift these restrictions is currently unclear. Meanwhile, a fee policy for staking rewards has also been announced. Starting October 1, 2025, 25% of the earned staking rewards will be charged as Robinhood’s service commission. Additionally, fees applied by third-party staking providers will also be passed on to users. 

Robinhood’s Strategic Crypto Expansion Continues 

With this move, Robinhood does not just introduce a new feature. It also aims to play a more active role in the industry by complying with the regulatory framework in the United States. The company previously offered staking support in the European market but had delayed in the U.S. due to legal uncertainties. Meanwhile, the U.S. SEC’s stance on staking remains controversial. Robinhood keeps the system’s internal operation under its control to protect its users. Thus, while users stake, Robinhood assumes technical responsibility. 

Moreover, this move reflected positively on Robinhood’s shares. The company’s stock, traded on Nasdaq, rose shortly after launching the crypto staking service. Robinhood succeeded in boosting investor confidence with its new products.

Hines also emphasized that the Trump administration is determined to end all practices associated with Operation Chokepoint 2.0. The term was coined by Nic Carter, a partner at Castle Island Ventures, referencing the original “Operation Choke Point” initiated during the Barack Obama era, which targeted payday lenders and firearms dealers.
