Recently, the United States passed three key Crypto Assets bills, marking the entry of the industry into a new regulatory era. These bills not only provide a clearer legal framework for the Crypto Assets ecosystem but also reflect the U.S. government's attitude towards digital assets and future development direction.



First, the "Genius Act" establishes a systematic legal status for payment stablecoins. The bill requires stablecoin issuers to be licensed banks or approved payment institutions, and they need to have 100% of their reserves backed by cash or U.S. Treasury securities. This measure not only ends the regulatory gray area for stablecoins but also provides traditional financial institutions and large tech payment companies with an opportunity to participate in compliance. At the same time, it may also accelerate the integration and restructuring of the stablecoin market.

Secondly, the "Clarity Act" attempts to define the concepts of "digital securities" and "digital commodities" at the federal level. The Act classifies tokens that meet the definition of "mature blockchain," such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, as commodities, which are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), while security tokens are overseen by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This distinction clarifies the scope of responsibilities for regulatory agencies and provides more specific regulatory guidance for the Crypto Assets industry.

Finally, the "Anti-CBDC Act" prohibits the Federal Reserve from independently issuing Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) without Congressional authorization. This decision preserves competitive space for market-issued USD stablecoins, avoiding a direct substitute relationship between an official digital dollar and private stablecoins. This reflects the United States' cautious attitude towards the development of digital currencies, while also embodying the protection of the existing financial system.

The passage of these three bills will undoubtedly have a profound impact on the Crypto Assets industry. They not only provide industry participants with clearer compliance guidelines but may also encourage traditional financial institutions to engage more actively in the digital asset space. However, this also means that the Crypto Assets industry will face stricter regulatory scrutiny, which may lead to the need for adjustments or restructuring of some existing business models.

With the implementation of these bills, we can expect the Crypto Assets market to undergo a process of adaptation and transformation. While there may be some challenges in the short term, in the long run, these regulatory measures are expected to pave the way for the healthy development and mainstream adoption of the Crypto Assets industry.

Calm down!
The alt season will be late,
but it will definitely not be absent!
The American hole needs to be filled,
The only common viewpoint of Donald Trump and Musk:
Money comes quickly in the crypto world!
