In brief:
₿- The U.S. is preparing to finalise a series of crypto laws allowing banks to custody digital assets, creating a clear framework for Bitcoin, stablecoins, and other tokens.
₿- The GENIUS Act and Clarity Act establish strict rules for stablecoins and define regulatory oversight, offering a global model for safe crypto integration.
₿- A proposal to make Bitcoin a U.S. reserve asset could reshape monetary policy, ensuring citizens’ rights to self-custody and private ownership.
The United States is on the verge of a historic financial transformation preparing for the final House vote on a groundbreaking package of crypto-focused legislation. With bipartisan support and momentum from major financial institutions, these measures aim to fully integrate cryptocurrencies into the U.S. economy—safely, transparently, and strategically.
Banks get the green light to offer crypto services
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), alongside the Federal Reserve, has officially confirmed that U.S. banks can engage in crypto custody and execution services. It means banks can securely store and transact in Bitcoin and stablecoins under federal banking standards.
Several major custodians have already filed applications to offer these services, bridging the gap between traditional finance and the digital asset world.
Stablecoins to become the global model for digital payments
The GENIUS Act, which has just passed the Senate, is the first U.S. law to create a clear regulatory framework for stablecoins. Only federally insured banks or OCC-approved firms will be allowed to issue payment stablecoins, which must be backed 1:1 by high-quality liquid assets, held in segregated reserves, and verified monthly by independent audits.
Lawmakers hope this will position U.S.-regulated stablecoins as a trusted, globally adopted model for digital currency.
Clarity for the entire crypto market
The Clarity Act defines digital assets as either securities, commodities, or payment stablecoins—assigning oversight accordingly to the SEC, CFTC, or joint regulators. The law also requires crypto exchanges and token issuers to register, disclose risks, and prevent offshore regulatory avoidance.
This framework finally brings regulatory certainty to the crypto industry and helps investors understand the rules for each type of asset.
Bitcoin Reserve Asset Act could reshape U.S. monetary strategy
One of the boldest proposals is the Bitcoin Act. It authorizes the U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve to acquire up to 1 million Bitcoin without using any new taxpayer dollars. Instead, the government would reallocate existing funds from cash or short-term Treasury holdings.
The bill mandates secure custody, independent audits, and permanent protections for private citizens’ rights to buy, hold, and sell Bitcoin—cementing Bitcoin’s role in America’s financial future.
U.S. crypto laws set global precedent for regulation and adoption
With tomorrow’s House vote, the U.S. could officially embrace crypto as part of its economic infrastructure. These legislative efforts aren’t just historic for the U.S.—they’re poised to serve as a model for governments worldwide.
With the GENIUS Act and Clarity Act offering practical, enforceable, and balanced approaches, global lawmakers now have a real-world example of how to regulate crypto effectively. The U.S. is positioning itself not only as a crypto-friendly economy but also as a global leader in shaping digital asset legislation that encourages innovation while protecting investors.
By welcoming new technologies and financial stability, lawmakers are laying the foundation for a digital economy where Bitcoin, stablecoins, and blockchain technology thrive under strong, transparent, and globally respected regulation.
