America pushes crypto forward.

Crypto Week: three crypto laws approved.

This week, the U.S. House of Representatives passed three major bills that lay a new foundation for the American crypto market. The GENIUS Act provides clear rules for stablecoins, the CLARITY Act clarifies the role of regulators, and the Anti-CBDC Act blocks the introduction of a digital dollar. Together, they offer legal clarity, a crucial condition for growth and innovation in the sector.

For crypto, this marks a major step toward maturity. Institutional investor confidence gets a strong boost, and stablecoins become more appealing to banks, businesses, and users thanks to well-defined rules. A historic week that puts the U.S. back at the forefront of crypto innovation.

U.S. banks get green light to custody crypto.

U.S. regulators have confirmed that banks are allowed to custody crypto assets for clients, without the need for new rules. The joint statement from the Federal Reserve, FDIC, and OCC provides long-awaited clarity on what is and isn’t allowed, as long as banks meet existing requirements for risk management and oversight.

This move paves the way for traditional banks to become active in crypto. With legal uncertainty removed, the barrier to offering custody services is lowered, potentially accelerating adoption among a broader public. Crypto moves one step closer to full integration with the mainstream financial system.

Big banks prepare for the stablecoin economy.

Bank of America, Citibank, and JPMorgan all announced this week they are moving forward with stablecoin initiatives. With legislation on the horizon, more banks feel confident about stepping into blockchain-based payments. Citi is working on tokenized deposits, BofA on its own stablecoin, and JPMorgan is expanding its existing JPM Coin.

The interest from major banks shows that stablecoins are growing up. What once was a niche experiment is becoming a strategic focus in the future of payments, not just within crypto, but also as an alternative to traditional systems like Zelle, Venmo, or even Swift. The race for the digital payments infrastructure has begun.
