The United States Senate has approved a major bipartisan housing bill that includes a provision preventing the Federal Reserve from issuing a US central bank digital currency until 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bill passed with strong bipartisan support in an 85 to 5 vote and now moves to the House, where lawmakers are expected to push it forward quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBDC Restriction Included in Housing Legislation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The housing bill is primarily focused on improving housing affordability and reducing market pressure from large corporate buyers. However, one of its most notable provisions places a temporary block on the Federal Reserve\u2019s ability to launch a US central bank digital currency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The anti CBDC clause has become one of the most significant crypto related policy developments in recent months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This measure follows months of legislative negotiations. The Senate first added the CBDC restriction in March, and the House later approved the amended version in May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donald Trump had already signed an executive order in January 2025 preventing his administration from pursuing a CBDC, citing concerns over financial stability and personal privacy. However, because executive orders only apply during a president\u2019s term, congressional allies pushed to formalize the restriction through legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

House Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill said he expects the House to move swiftly to send the bill to President Trump\u2019s desk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tim Scott described the bill as a major step toward delivering meaningful relief to Americans, while Elizabeth Warren called it the most significant housing legislation in more than three decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Focus Shifts to Crypto Regulation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attention is also turning toward the upcoming debate around the CLARITY Act, another major piece of legislation tied to digital asset regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The House Financial Services Committee has scheduled a hearing in New York on July 17 to examine how the bill could shape financial innovation and the broader digital asset sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cynthia Lummis has remained one of the strongest advocates for clearer crypto regulation. She has repeatedly argued that regulatory uncertainty is pushing blockchain developers and innovation outside the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulatory Pressure Continues<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The push for clearer rules comes as legal pressure on parts of the crypto industry continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One high profile case involves Roman Storm, a developer associated with Tornado Cash. He was found guilty of knowingly transmitting more than $1 billion in criminal proceeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The United States Department of Justice is also seeking a retrial after the jury failed to reach a verdict on separate money laundering and sanctions related charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest developments highlight how crypto policy in the United States is increasingly being shaped through both legislation and courtroom battles.#crypto#cryptonews https:\/\/coinsignals.net<\/a> https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
