US House Majority Whip Tom Emmer also urged the Senate to advance two key pieces of legislation, including the CLARITY Act and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, following the passage of the GENIUS Act, which established federal regulations for dollar-backed stablecoins.

The Minnesota representative stated that clear regulations would protect consumers while preventing the adoption of authoritarian-style digital control systems similar to China’s CBDC model.
