🏛️ US Regulation: Three Crypto Bills Passed in the House of Representatives
The US Congress has approved three important bills: the GENIUS Act ( stablecoin regulation ), the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, and the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. This provides regulatory clarity to the crypto industry, but raises concerns such as the potential for 'cashless surveillance' and conflicts of interest involving political figures like Trump.
Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized the GENIUS Act for being seen as paving the way for integrated surveillance and not fully banning CBDCs.
