🏦 134 Bank Leaders Urge Senate to Tighten CLARITY Act Stablecoin Rules
Big banks are pushing back on how “yield” on stablecoins could hurt traditional deposits.
📜 What They’re Asking For
⟡ 134 bank leaders sent a letter to Sen. John Thune (R-SD) and Sen. ⟡ Chuck Schumer (D-NY) demanding changes to Section 10404 of the CLARITY Act.
⟡ Current Section 10404: Bans paying interest/yield on payment stablecoins.
⟡ Banks want: Strengthen it so companies can’t bypass the ban with rewards, incentives, or other holding-based perks that act like interest.
“If stablecoin products are permitted to attract and retain balances through interest-like rewards... the local funding base that supports this lending could be weakened by hundreds of billions”
💰 Why Banks Are Worried
⟡ Deposits = lending foundation for mortgages, small businesses, farmers, local employers 🏠👨🌾
⟡ Banks fear stablecoins offering rewards will pull money out of banks, weakening community lending
⟡ They argue stablecoins should stay payment-focused, not become long-term savings products
⚖️ The Bigger Debate
This highlights the fight over stablecoins’ role:
⟡ Bank view: Payment tools only. No deposit-like incentives without bank-level regulation.
⟡ Crypto view: Rewards help adoption and compete with TradFi.
⟡ Section 10404 changes would aim to allow stablecoin innovation but block structures that mimic insured bank deposits.
🔑 Bottom Line
⟡ The Senate’s final language on stablecoin rewards will decide how much payment stablecoins can compete with banks.
⟡ Banks want stricter guardrails now before “hundreds of billions” shift out of deposits.
Not financial advice ⚠️
