Advocates hope House bills will bring decentralised currency into US mainstream as Trump pushes ‘crypto week’.

Crypto executives poured millions into Trump’s campaign, and now he’s helping to make their priorities into law.

If passed, the Crypto Week legislation could lead to new ways to use the currencies, corporate adoption, and institutional investment.

The Genius Act, which passed in the Senate last month with broad bipartisan support, would create rules of the road for the $250 billion market for stablecoin, a type of cryptocurrency. The bill is also part of a broader push by Republican lawmakers and President Trump to support the cryptocurrency industry and ease regulations around the emerging sector.

It was a remarkable win for the crypto industry — and for President Trump, who campaigned on making the country "the crypto capital of the planet."

Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies traded higher Wednesday after President Donald Trump said he expects the House to pass the GENIUS Act.

Florida lawmakers helped by the cryptocurrency industry are joining a House majority backing the first crypto regulatory bill adopted by Congress.

A day after President Donald Trump claimed a deal was reached with GOP holdouts, the House was yet again locked in a standstill over moving forward on a trio of crypto bills -- breaking a record for the longest House vote in recent history.
