The US House of Representatives has stalled on a procedural vote to advance key crypto bills, including the Clarity Act, GENIUS Act, and Anti-CBDC Surveillance Act. The House initially passed a procedural motion but struggled with a second vote, which remained open after more than 100 minutes.
A group of Republicans voted against the motion, putting the legislation at risk. The issue centers around the stablecoin bill, with the House Freedom Caucus objecting to the lack of input on the Senate version, the GENIUS Act. US President Donald Trump reportedly convinced some lawmakers to support the procedural motion, but a deal to merge the anti-CBDC bill with the Clarity Act may lose Democratic support. The votes are part of Congress's 'Crypto Week,' with the market structure and stablecoin bills expected to receive bipartisan support.
However, the next vote series, initially scheduled for 5:00 p.m. ET, may be delayed due to the ongoing procedural issues.
