This week, Congress delivered on one of the most consequential moments in the history of U.S. digital asset policy.
With the passage of the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act, the House has taken a bipartisan, forward-looking step toward responsible innovation and American economic leadership. Together, these bills establish a long-awaited framework for stablecoins and digital asset markets, providing the legal certainty, consumer protections, and regulatory clarity the industry has called for.
CCI CEO Ji Hun Kim issued statements on both milestones. His remarks underscore the significance of this week’s votes for U.S. competitiveness, trust in the digital asset economy, and a regulatory approach rooted in confidence and clarity.
Ji Kim on the GENIUS Act:
The passage of the GENIUS Act is a true watershed moment for the US. It is a defining step for responsible crypto policy and a clear demonstration of Congressional leadership.
This comprehensive framework gives issuers, builders, and regulators the clear rules they have been asking for. It puts innovation and consumer protection first.
The passage of GENIUS marks just the beginning of a new golden age for digital assets with America at the helm.
Ji Kim on the CLARITY Act:
Today’s passage of the CLARITY Act is a milestone for American innovation and economic leadership. Through this vote, the House has taken a strong, bipartisan step toward building a smarter and more competitive future for U.S. digital assets.
This legislation brings needed structure to a fragmented regulatory landscape by establishing fit-for-purpose rules. It clarifies the roles of the SEC and CFTC, strengthens investor protections, recognizes the importance of decentralization, and gives developers a clear path to build.
The CLARITY Act replaces uncertainty with confidence for entrepreneurs, the broader market, and consumers. It shows that Congress can deliver thoughtful, durable policy solutions in a space too often clouded by confusion and conflict.
As the digital economy accelerates, this kind of legislative clarity is critical to ensuring the United States remains the global standard-setter. We commend the House for its leadership and look forward to working with the Senate to keep the momentum going.
Next Steps
As both bills advance (GENIUS toward the President’s desk and CLARITY to Senate floor), the message from Congress is unmistakable: the United States intends to lead in digital finance by setting high standards, protecting consumers, and enabling responsible innovation.
CCI will continue working alongside lawmakers, regulators, and our members to help translate this momentum into durable progress. A stronger, safer, and more competitive crypto economy begins with clear rules—and that’s exactly what this week delivered.
