The U.S. House of Representatives remains at an impasse on critical cryptocurrency bills, with divisions over CBDC provisions impacting legislative progress amid ongoing discussions.
On July 17, the U.S. House of Representatives faced a deadlock on critical cryptocurrency legislation, failing to reach consensus on three core bills. A motion to reconsider debate rules passed narrowly, but the ultimate vote saw 210 in favor and 218 against. Controversy centered on the stablecoin bill and the Senate's GENIUS Act. President Trump reportedly agreed to merge anti-CBDC legislation with the Clarity Act, which could jeopardize Democratic support.
