U.S. Congress Passes Landmark Crypto Regulatory Framework

News summary

In 2025, the U.S. cryptocurrency market has matured significantly, with ownership nearly doubling among American adults and institutional adoption accelerating due to regulatory clarity, such as the SEC's approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs and the establishment of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. President Donald Trump has pledged to build a U.S. Bitcoin reserve and position America as the global crypto capital, though experts caution that Bitcoin's decentralized nature conflicts with traditional economic policy tools and could inadvertently strengthen geopolitical adversaries. Congress marked a historic Crypto Week by advancing and passing three major bills — the CLARITY Act, the GENIUS Act, and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act — which establish regulatory frameworks for digital assets, stablecoins, and prohibitions on central digital currency banks, reinforcing America's leadership in crypto innovation. While these legislative advances are significant, tax implications remain unresolved, particularly regarding stablecoins, which the IRS currently treats as property, making exchanges potentially taxable events. The market responded positively, with Bitcoin and Ethereum prices surging, and institutional investors like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) raising billions to increase Bitcoin holdings, underscoring growing confidence in crypto's role within the broader financial ecosystem. However, the crypto space continues to face challenges such as scams, including memecoin rug pulls following high-profile events, highlighting the ongoing risks for investors despite regulatory progress.
