Stablecoin bill clears House after GOP revolt, heads to Trump’s desk
The House on Thursday passed a bill setting up a regulatory framework for payment stablecoins, sending the cryptocurrency bill to President Trump’s desk and marking a major win for the industry.
Lawmakers voted 308-122 to pass the GENIUS Act following a tumultuous “crypto week” in the chamber that saw competing GOP factions bring the House floor to a standstill for two days.
Twelve Republicans voted against the measure while 102 Democrats voted "yes."
The bill regulating dollar-backed digital tokens now heads to Trump’s desk, where he has indicated he is eager to sign it.
The legislation’s future appeared in jeopardy less than 24 hours earlier.
A group of hard-line Republicans tanked a procedural vote on a trio of crypto bills Tuesday, freezing the floor.
