The three bills on Republicans’ crypto agenda passed with bipartisan support despite continued pushback from Democrats over claims of corruption and conflicts of interest. After delays in Congress over Republican concerns with central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), the US House of Representatives has passed three pieces of crypto legislation. In a Thursday House session, lawmakers voted 294-134 to pass the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act, a bill aimed at establishing a market structure for cryptocurrencies, 308-122 in favor of the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act, and 219-210 for the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act. Almost 80 Democrats voted yes for the CLARITY Act and more than 100 for the GENIUS Act, with the bills having been expected to move through the chamber before Congress breaks for its August recess.

Though the House of Representatives may soon be able to consider the three bills, President Donald Trump didn’t get all Republicans to fall in line to support the legislation. The US House of Representatives has cleared the way for three Republican-led crypto bills to be considered in the chamber after a failed vote on Tuesday. In a Wednesday floor vote in the House, lawmakers voted 215-211 in favor of a resolution to reconsider a package with bills to regulate payment stablecoins, establish crypto market structure and restrict the development of a US central bank digital currency (CBDC). The passage could lead to amendments to the bills and votes on the legislation itself soon as part of Republicans’ plans to pass them before Congress breaks for an August recess. Read more

Protect Progress, an affiliate of the cryptocurrency-backed Fairshake PAC, spent more than $1 million on media buys to support Democratic candidate James Walkinshaw. James Walkinshaw, a Democratic candidate seeking to replace the late Representative Gerry Connolly for Virginia’s 11th Congressional District, won a party primary after a cryptocurrency-backed political action committee (PAC) spent more than $1 million to support his race. On Saturday, Democrats in Virginia’s 11th district held a firehouse primary to decide on a possible replacement for Connolly after his death while in office. A special election to determine who will represent the district will be held on Sept. 9. Walkinshaw beat out other candidates to become the Democratic nominee for the House seat, and the cryptocurrency industry may have played a role in his success, given reports of media buys by the Protect Progress PAC. According to Federal Election Commission filings, the committee spent more than $1 million to support Walkinshaw in Jun...

More than 30 members of the US Congress signed onto a letter alleging that Donald Trump could have violated the Constitution by inviting his memecoin investors to a private dinner. Members of the US House of Representatives called for the Justice Department to investigate Donald Trump’s May 22 dinner for his top memecoin investors, citing concerns about “foreign influence over US policy decisions” and “potential corruption and emoluments clause violations.” In a May 22 letter to the Justice Department, 35 House members asked the public integrity section acting chief, Edward Sullivan, to launch an inquiry over the memecoin dinner to determine whether it violated the federal bribery statute or the foreign emoluments clause of the US Constitution.  Under the emoluments clause, a US president is barred from accepting any gift from a foreign state without the approval of Congress.
