On Thursday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed three major cryptocurrency bills – the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act, the Clarity Act, and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act – marking a significant step toward clearer crypto regulation in the United States.

The Genius Act sets rules for stablecoins, which are digital currencies tied to assets like the U.S. dollar. It passed with a vote of 308-122, with 102 Democrats supporting it, according to the official House of Representatives website.
