Lost in the rewards/yield debate is how GENIUS-compliant stablecoins will actually lead to deposit inflows. Global demand for USD is massive. Foreigners exchange local currency for stablecoins from a US-based issuer. That is net new capital entering the American banking system.

The days of turf battles between the @CFTC and @SECgov are over. @SECPaulSAtkins and I are working together, and today’s Memorandum of Understanding solidifies our efforts to achieve our mutual goals of harmonization. Read the full MOU ⬇️ cftc.gov/PressRoom/Pres…

The CLARITY Act must remain a pro-innovation piece of legislation. Attempts to hijack the legislative process and turn it into an anti-competition bill are shameful.

New: The White House wanted a deal on stablecoin yield done by this weekend. Will that happen? No, a banking source with direct involvement tells me. "Patrick Witt made the unfortunate error of going out to the press and saying he'd get this done before March. It's not going to get done before March," the source said. The crypto and bank lobbies are still far apart on the issue of yield, which is holding up a crypto market structure bill. "Is there language circulating? Yes. Is the language close? No," the source said. "We're not close to a bill." "I think that there's a very real likelihood that this thing falls apart unless Brian Armstrong comes to the table," the source added, referring to the Coinbase CEO, who has been adamant that stablecoins can generate yield for users. The source emphasized that the banks want a deal here, but figure chances of passage could drop to near-zero in the next month.
