Landmark Crypto Bill Poised for Midterms Passage Despite Political Od…

A bipartisan U.S. bill establishing federal cryptocurrency regulation—covering stablecoin issuance, exchange licensing, and asset classification—is positioned to pass Congress during the 2026 midterm election year, marking the first major federal crypto law. The legislation reflects growing institutional adoption, international regulatory competition from the EU and Asia, and bipartisan political momentum despite opposition from both progressive and libertarian factions. If you're building a crypto exchange, stablecoin, or DeFi product in the U.S., you've just been handed a regulatory map instead of a maze—and a deadline before November. Get your compliance read-in done and your licensing strategy locked before the political window closes; once this passes, state-by-state workarounds disappear.
