Crypto legislation hits roadblock as House vote fails

Published 15/07/2025, 20:54

Investing.com -- The future of cryptocurrency legislation in Congress became uncertain on Tuesday after lawmakers rejected a procedural vote that would have allowed consideration of several digital asset bills.

House Republicans had designated this week as "Crypto week" with plans to advance multiple pieces of legislation aimed at providing regulatory clarity and legitimacy to the cryptocurrency industry.

The effort encountered an early obstacle when several conservative Republicans joined Democrats in blocking a procedural vote on three crypto bills. The opposition stemmed from disagreements over how the measures should be packaged and considered.

Following the failed vote, House Speaker Mike Johnson indicated he would continue discussions with members about the legislation and expressed hope for another vote in the near future.
