#CLARITY法案推进受阻

Bipartisan cooperation has proven to be crucial for advancing the "Clear Act"; Senator Thillis and Senator Olsobrooks reached a compromise on stablecoin yields, addressing banking industry concerns. Once implemented, the stablecoin policy will reshape traditional finance and the crypto market, providing regulatory clarity, helping to solidify the U.S. leadership in digital assets, while limiting the risk of deposit outflows.
Senator Thillis and Senator Olsobrooks agreed to allow crypto platforms to offer activity-based incentives while prohibiting rewards similar to bank deposit interest.
The American Bankers Association and other groups believe that this provision still permits behaviors similar to yields, which could incentivize long-term holding of stablecoins and reduce lending capacity by up to 20%.
This bipartisan compromise paves the way for the Senate Banking Committee to review the bill in mid-May, demonstrating that cooperation can overcome industry resistance and push the bill forward.
The "Clear Act" has received strong bipartisan support in the House, providing momentum for continued compromise and passage in the Senate.
Yield-generating stablecoins could transfer funds away from banks, reducing lending to consumers, small businesses, and farms.
Widely used foreign currency-pegged stablecoins could weaken national monetary control and foreign exchange management.
Stablecoins backed by short-term assets, similar to money market funds, could cause liquidity crises for issuers during periods of stress.
The "Clear Act" will define which assets are securities and which are commodities, strengthen disclosure obligations, and protect customer funds.
Clear rules will encourage crypto companies to invest in the U.S. rather than overseas, supporting domestic leadership in digital assets.
Stablecoins as a payment tool in the crypto market; when monetary policy tightens, demand declines, directly linking cryptocurrencies to traditional financial cycles.
