Financial Services Chair French Hill has confirmed that there are now enough votes for the GENIUS Act to sail through the House of Representatives. House members will reattempt to pass a procedural vote for a raft of digital asset bills after yesterday’s failed effort.

His comment comes after the GENIUS Act suffered a setback following the failure of a key procedural motion to advance the bill for consideration. Several Republican lawmakers voted against the stablecoin bill because it left a backdoor for the establishment of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) in the US. In a FOX interview, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott clarified that the GENIUS Act is clear as it doesn’t extend the Federal Reserve’s authority to issue a CBDC. Now, Hill reveals that the Speaker of the House is working on presenting the bills to lawmakers for reconsideration, teeing up another shot for the three bills. Barely 24 hours after the failed vote, Hill is optimistic that all three bills will pass the House. His enthusiasm stems from an Oval Office meeting between Donald Trump and 11 Republican House members. After the meeting, Trump announced support from the previously opposing lawmakers, effectively putting the GENIUS Act back on track.
