The 119th Congress is poised to consider financial services legislation that may touch on credit cards, earned wage access, and digital assets.
The roles and scope of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) are yet undetermined.
Key legislation to be considered includes the Credit Card Competition Act, the Earned Wage Access Consumer Protection Act, and bills related to digital asset markets, crypto, and AI.
There is a growing bipartisan consensus in Congress regarding the need for crypto and AI legislation, with potential bills on stablecoins and regulation of crypto assets expected to move forward.
