Bloomberg reports that President Donald Trump's announced "crypto week" featured the longest procedural vote in US House of Representatives history. The initiative, supporting cryptocurrency development, includes advancing a stablecoin bill that would establish federal oversight of dollar-pegged digital currencies.
The legislation requires issuers to maintain dollar reserves in short-term government debt or equivalent assets. Having already passed the Senate last month, the bill now awaits House approval before potentially reaching Trump's desk for signature.
This development could mark a major regulatory breakthrough for cryptocurrencies, according to Bloomberg. The increased clarity may pave the way for the House to consider broader digital asset market structure rules in future sessions.
