The Big Idea
Congress Declares Crypto Week
The House is officially naming the week of July 14th “Crypto Week,” planning votes on major crypto bills aimed at locking in the U.S. as a global leader in digital assets. Lawmakers will bring three bills to the floor: the CLARITY Act, the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, and the Senate’s GENIUS Act. Together, they aim to create clear crypto rules, support stablecoin growth, and block a government-run digital dollar. After years of stalled efforts, Congress appears ready to make digital asset regulation a priority — setting up what could be a defining moment for U.S. crypto policy.

Pump.fun Token Sale Buzz
Pump.fun is launching what’s being called one of the biggest token presales in crypto history. The platform, known for letting users create memecoins without coding, is selling its PUMP token through Bybit. It’s already brought in over $700 million in revenue, but not without criticism. Some say it’s turned crypto into a memecoin casino, with many users losing money fast. Bybit says European users are blocked from the sale due to regulations, but that hasn’t slowed the hype. This presale is getting a lot of attention — and it could be a major moment for the project.
