CLARITY Act Faces Fresh Setback Over Stablecoin Yield Compromise

The fate of the CLARITY Act remains uncertain as major cryptocurrency player Coinbase expresses its opposition to the latest version of the stablecoin yield compromise.

According to reports, the crypto exchange had informed Senate offices that it could not support the revised bill due to concerns over the stablecoin rewards provision. This represents a significant setback for the legislation, which has already faced several delays and revisions.

The stablecoin rewards issue remains a contentious topic among key stakeholders, with some describing the language as 'restrictive'. The provision in question places limitations on stablecoin rewards, limiting them to activity-based rewards that are not equivalent to bank deposit interest. This has sparked concerns about the potential impact on revenue for companies like Coinbase and Circle.
