The White House is preparing to hold another round of discussions next Tuesday about cryptocurrency, focusing especially on whether stablecoins should be allowed to offer interest or yield to users. This will be the second meeting in the series and will take place at the staff and policy level, with senior representatives from major banks such as Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo expected to attend for the first time. Banks are concerned that high-yield stablecoin accounts could attract customers away from traditional bank deposits, which might reduce funds available for lending and create instability in the banking system.

cryptocurrency companies argue that restricting stablecoin yield would limit competition and slow financial innovation. The talks are connected to progress on the CLARITY Act, a proposed law aimed at defining clearer rules for crypto markets, and officials are encouraging all sides to reach a compromise soon.
