After a week of squabbling in Washington, the cryptocurrency industry secured one of its primary legislative objectives and made progress toward a second one.

It was a remarkable win for the crypto industry — and for President Trump, who campaigned on making the country "the crypto capital of the planet."

In a week of landmark legislative wins for the crypto industry, the U.S. House of Representatives has now passed all three key bills — the CLARITY Act, the GENIUS Act, and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act. But despite what many in the industry have called a historic breakthrough, markets are barely reacting.

Bitcoin's surge to a record this week has reignited questions about the role institutional investors are playing in pushing it higher, with analysts suggesting their role is still in its infancy.

"Crypto Week" kicks off in the U.S. as lawmakers debate key bills that could reshape digital asset regulation. Here’s what the legislation means for Bitcoin, investors, and the future of crypto in America.

If passed, the Crypto Week legislation could lead to new ways to use the currencies, corporate adoption, and institutional investment.

The U.S. House on Thursday passed the first major piece of nationwide legislation to regulate cryptocurrencies, a move widely expected to bring the once-obscure payment technology further into the mainstream economy.

Crypto was born as a revolution — a way to put value into the hands of the people who use it, rather than have it be controlled by banks, or tycoons, or (ahem) Congress. What’s perhaps most ironic about Crypto Week is that the digital currency was designed so that it wouldn’t need the imprimatur of politicians and regulators in the first place.

The crypto industry will take a step closer to going mainstream this week as a series of industry-friendly bills progress through Congress, paving the way for digital assets to potentially be further integrated into traditional finance.
