House Republicans are pushing to ban the Federal Reserve from creating a central bank digital currency (CBDC) by combining the anti-CBDC bill with the bipartisan crypto market structure bill.<\/p>\n

GOP Lawmakers Push For CBDC-CLARITY Merger<\/h2>\n

GOP members in the US House of Representatives voted to retroactively combine H.R. 1919, also known as the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, with H.R. 3633, the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act of 2025.<\/p>\n

According to a Politico report<\/a>, the House was set to vote on Tuesday afternoon on a procedural vote that included a provision to combine the Anti-CBDC legislation with the CLARITY Act, both of which passed the US Congress\u2019s lower chamber back in July.<\/p>\n

The engrossment would include the CBDC text in the final version of the market structure bill sent to the Senate. \u201cProvides that in the engrossment of H.R. 3633, the Clerk shall add the text of H.R. 1919, as passed by the House, as new matter at the end of H.R. 3633; conform the title of H.R. 3633 to reflect the addition of H.R. 1919, as passed by the House, to the engrossment,\u201d the provision reads<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Notably, the anti-CBDC measure, sponsored by Majority Whip\u00a0Tom Emmer, narrowly passed the House vote two months ago during the historic \u201cCrypto Week,\u201d which saw the passage of crucial crypto legislation, including the GENIUS Act.<\/p>\n

At the time, GOP leaders pushed to combine the two bills after passing<\/a> the vote to reconsider the bills, which initially failed to pass their procedural vote. However, Republican representatives on the Financial Services Committee opposed the measure, arguing that it could endanger the CLARITY Act\u2019s bipartisan support.<\/p>\n

House Agriculture Committee Republican representatives also considered that combining the two bills would have killed the CLARITY Act, arguing that it risked losing Democrats\u2019 votes over the anti-CBDC language.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, Republican leaders vowed<\/a> to include the CBDC ban in Congress\u2019s annual must-pass defense policy legislation and added the anti-CBDC language in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Politico noted that \u201cfew Democrats support the provision, meaning it is likely to get stripped out of the bill by the Senate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Senate To Advance Its Crypto Market Structure Bill<\/h2>\n

In a statement, a spokesperson for House Financial Services Chair French Hill said that \u201cpassing both the CLARITY Act and Anti-CBDC bill were key priorities for members of the House.\u201d They added that \u201cby combining both measures and sending them to the Senate, the House continues to advance both priorities.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to crypto journalist Eleanor Terret, the broad response<\/a> among Capitol Hill sources was that the measure \u201creally doesn\u2019t change anything, as the Senate is working on its own bill which includes anti-CBDC language anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n

Notably, multiple US lawmakers, including Senator Cynthia Lummis, expect the bill to pass before the end of the month and reach President Donald Trump\u2019s desk by year\u2019s end. Some senators have raised concerns<\/a> about the status of the upper chamber\u2019s version of the bill, which has not been introduced yet, while House leaders have asked the Senate to pass the CLARITY Act.<\/p>\n

\u201cRepublican and Democratic senators continue talks on the market structure legislation, which a group of leaders from several major crypto firms is set to meet tomorrow morning with Senate Banking Committee leadership in a roundtable, according to two industry invitees,\u201d Terret reported<\/a> on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

She noted that the meeting follows \u201cmore than a week of industry review of the committee\u2019s latest approach to distinguishing securities from commodities, DeFi treatment, and other key issues.\u201d<\/p>\n
