Lawmakers and industry groups are negotiating stablecoin yield rules before a committee markup.
-
Proposals may ban yield on idle balances while allowing transaction-based rewards.
Lawmakers and industry leaders will gather in Washington, D.C., this week for the Digital Chamber’s DC Blockchain Summit, where discussions will center on progress around the Clarity Act. According to Crypto in America, the event comes as Congress debates other issues. However, crypto legislation remains a key focus, with talks advancing behind closed doors.
Clarity Act Talks Take Center Stage
Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott is expected to open the summit with a fireside chat on Tuesday. Attendees plan to press him on the timing of the next committee markup. However, a markup cannot proceed until lawmakers finalize key provisions. Notably, stablecoin yield rules remain the central unresolved issue.
According to Crypto in America, negotiations have continued for weeks among industry groups and banking representatives. These discussions aim to resolve disagreements before scheduling formal legislative steps.
Stablecoin Yield Debate Nears Resolution
Digital Chamber CEO Cody Carbone said talks on stablecoin yield are progressing. He stated that both sides are moving closer to an agreement. Specifically, proposals focus on banning yield on idle balances. At the same time, they allow transaction-based rewards.
Carbone told Crypto in America that a resolution could emerge within a week. However, multiple stakeholders remain involved in shaping the final language. Because of this, lawmakers continue reviewing details before advancing the bill. The process reflects the complexity of aligning financial and crypto interests.
Key Senators Shape Legislative Path
Meanwhile, Senators Thom Tillis and Angela Alsobrooks play central roles in the discussions. Both lawmakers have raised concerns about deposit outflows from traditional banks.
They have questioned whether high-yield crypto products could shift funds away from savings accounts. As a result, they continue engaging with stakeholders to refine the bill. A spokesperson for Tillis confirmed ongoing discussions aimed at reaching a compromise. However, he will not attend the summit this week.
In contrast, Alsobrooks is scheduled to speak on Wednesday. She is expected to address the latest efforts to resolve the yield issue. These developments place the Clarity Act at the center of this week’s policy discussions.
