<h1>House Republicans block crypto legislation despite industry's $140 million election spending and White House intervention</h1> A trio of cryptocurrency bills stalled in the House after 13 Republicans joined Democrats to block procedural votes during designated 'crypto week.' The legislation includes stablecoin regulation, market structure measures, and a ban on Federal Reserve digital currency. The disagreement centered on whether to package bills together or pass them individually. The President intervened in a late White House meeting, reportedly securing support for Wednesday votes. The stablecoin bill notably exempts the President's family from profit prohibitions, while barring Congress members. The cryptocurrency industry spent heavily in 2024 elections supporting crypto-friendly lawmakers and has over $140 million ready for 2026 midterm races.
