thebalanced.newsUS Senate Committee to Review Digital Asset Bill Addressing Stablecoin Rewards Dispute
The US Senate Banking Committee is set to consider the Clarity Act, a bill aimed at regulating digital assets and resolving disputes between crypto firms and banks. The legislation includes a compromise on stablecoin rewards, banning interest on idle holdings but allowing rewards for active use like payments. Banking groups have proposed stricter limits, opposing any rewards to prevent competition with deposits, while crypto advocates argue these restrictions are anti-competitive. The bill seeks to clarify regulatory jurisdiction and definitions for digital assets.
