During the week of July 14, the U.S. House of Representatives will hold a series of votes focused on digital assets. The agenda includes three major bills aimed at establishing regulatory clarity for the crypto market and blocking the introduction of a digital dollar. The decisions could reshape the U.S. approach to crypto regulation.

What Lawmakers Plan to Review

The chairs of the Financial Services and Agriculture Committees, French Hill and GT Thompson, along with House leadership, announced that the week of July 14 will be designated as Crypto Week.

Lawmakers intend to review the following three bills:

The primary objectives include protecting financial privacy, limiting government control over personal finances, and reinforcing the U.S. position as a hub for crypto innovation.

Political Support and Regulatory Direction

House Speaker Mike Johnson stated that the bills are part of Donald Trump’s broader plan for advancing digital assets. Majority Leader Steve Scalise echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that the initiative reinforces the administration’s pro-business and pro-innovation stance.

According to French Hill, the main organizer of Crypto Week, the U.S. is "taking a historic step toward establishing clear rules for the digital economy" and aims to "permanently block the rollout of a digital dollar."

Majority Whip Tom Emmer added that the initiatives will help defend Americans’ financial freedom and sovereignty. He believes the country is "one step closer to becoming the world’s crypto capital."

What the Senate Is Saying

Senator Tim Scott expressed support for advancing the GENIUS Act and working on the CLARITY bill in the Senate. He noted that the U.S. currently has a window of opportunity to take a global leadership position in the digital space.

The crypto agenda also received backing from other key senators, including John Boozman, Bill Hagerty, and Cynthia Lummis. Lummis emphasized that Washington is beginning to replicate the successful crypto legislative model of Wyoming, where crypto laws have been in effect since 2019.

The Outcome of Over a Year of Discussions

The decision to hold Crypto Week follows more than a year of legislative groundwork. In 2025, the House conducted dozens of hearings, roundtables, and released several key documents, including:

  • Debates on the digital dollar and stablecoins (April–June).
  • Joint op-eds and draft bills.
  • The formation of a digital assets Task Force with White House participation.

The proposed legislation received bipartisan support. The CLARITY Act passed the Agriculture Committee with a vote of 47 to 6 and the Financial Services Committee with 32 votes in favor and 19 against.

If the House approves the bills during the week of July 14, the legislation will move to the Senate. There, lawmakers will work on final versions and a possible signing by the president. This would mark the first time in U.S. history that Congress adopts a full legal framework for cryptocurrencies.
