This finalized, bipartisan text is the culmination of months of hard work to deliver a compromise on yield we can all live with. We are closer than ever to getting the Clarity Act across the finish line.
Brendan Pedersen@BrendanPedersen

News: Banking groups released a statement Monday criticizing a compromise on stablecoin yield from Sens. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.), saying it "falls short" of protecting bank deposits.

Senator Thom Tillis
Senator Thom Tillis@SenThomTillis·
.@Sen_Alsobrooks and I have worked on a bipartisan basis with all stakeholders to address the banking industry’s concerns about deposit flight. They have had a seat at the table and have been directly sharing their feedback and ideas for months to inform the final product. We have worked in good faith with all sides throughout this process to encourage compromise and to avoid letting the perfect become the enemy of the good.   The result is a substantially improved, consensus-based product. Our compromise prohibits stablecoin rewards from resembling interest on bank deposits, our core concern over deposit flight.   Our compromise also allows crypto companies to offer other forms of customer rewards. Most importantly, it helps put us on a bipartisan path to pass the CLARITY Act, providing the regulatory certainty needed to foster innovation. Some in the banking industry may not want either of these things to happen, and we respectfully agree to disagree.

Coinbase submitted a comment letter to the @CFTC on prediction markets. Four points from @coinbase’s submission: 1) Event-based contracts are not new. The CFTC has long overseen derivatives and futures markets that embed real-world contingencies. Prediction markets may look novel, but they sit comfortably within existing statutory authority—no new mandate required. 2) Like futures markets, these instruments aggregate dispersed information into prices. They provide a mechanism for hedging uncertainty and forming expectations—an economic function regulators have supervised for decades. 3) Congress assigned this domain to the CFTC for a reason: consistent, national oversight of derivatives markets. Fragmented state-by-state intervention risks undermining that framework and creating regulatory conflict in markets that are inherently interstate. 4) The CFTC already has the authority to review, condition, or prohibit contracts that are contrary to the public interest—including those that raise manipulation or harm concerns. That power should be used to police edge cases, not to foreclose the category. Prediction markets are maturing. The question is not whether they fit within the law—they do—but how to ensure they develop with integrity, clarity, and appropriate guardrails. We appreciate the Commission’s engagement and look forward to continued dialogue.

Judging by my feed, the rewards language released last night was either a complete giveaway to @coinbase, a complete capitulation by @coinbase to the banks, or had nothing whatsoever to do with @coinbase. I’d say that means it’s the right language. Onward.

The final rewards text in the CLARITY Act is now public. We’ve been clear throughout this process: much of this debate was based on imagined risks, not real evidence, nor was it based on a real understanding of how crypto actually works. Nevertheless, the crypto industry showed up to engage. Through months of meetings, the @WhiteHouse, @USTreasury, @BankingGOP, @SenThomTillis and @Sen_Alsobrooks finally arrived at a compromise. In the end, the banks were able to get more restrictions on rewards, but we protected what matters – the ability for Americans to earn rewards, based on real usage of crypto platforms and networks. We also ensured the US can be at the forefront of the financial system – which in this competitive geopolitical era is paramount. That’s important for innovation, consumers and America's national security. Now that this issue is behind us, it’s time to focus on the broader bill. While this debate has been underway, lots of progress has been made on other areas like token classification, defi, and tokenization. We’re excited to review the full, final text, and for the bill to move forward. It’s time to get CLARITY done.

SCOOP: Sens. Tillis and Alsobrooks have finalized a compromise on stablecoin yield. Punchbowl News has the text - bans rewards that are “economically or functionally equivalent” to deposit interest - balances *can* be used for rewards if companies clear the “equivalent” test

After months in rooms at the WH and Senate, this much is clear: a lot of the public debate overstated the risks and ignored the substance. This outcome preserves activity-based rewards tied to real participation on crypto platforms and networks, which is what the bank lobby said they wanted. We've long believed that this issue did not warrant legislative changes. But whatever-- we’re focused on getting a bill done and are satisifed that this language should not be the basis of any objection. Onward.

"For too long, Washington viewed emerging on-chain financial infrastructure as something to be restrained through regulatory ambiguity and overzealous enforcement, rather than evaluated on its merits as a tool for modernization." @secpaulatkins understands that keeping America's capital markets as the best in the world requires a willingness to ensure the rules allow for innovation. Congratulations to the Chairman on a historic first year.
Paul Atkins@SECPaulSAtkins

When I returned to the @SECGov in 2025, my mandate was clear: restore clarity, integrity, and trust to an agency that had lost sight of its core mission. One year later, we are delivering on that mission, and the most important work still lies ahead. My latest in @dcexaminer ⬇️

When your regulators focus on clear guidance and collaborating with innovators, rather than picking sides, you make… progress. It’s a pleasure working with you @secpaulatkins. Congratulations on a remarkable first year. Next step, codifying that progress in the Senate.

Big thanks to @SenatorTimScott for your strong and steady leadership on CLARITY. The crypto community is ready to help you get a big bipartisan vote in Committee. @coinbase @MariaBartiromo
U.S. Senate Banking Committee GOP@BankingGOP

Digital asset market structure legislation will make America the crypto capital of the world. Chairman @SenatorTimScott believes that faster, cheaper transactions help Americans keep more of their money and strengthen U.S. leadership in financial innovation.

Today, we hand-delivered a message to Washington. Over 28,000 Americans signed our petition this week, asking the Senate one thing: mark up the CLARITY Act. We're watching. We're organized. And we're voting. 🇺🇸

ICBA is doing its members a huge disservice over this issue. As communicated to their leadership ad nauseam, an outright prohibition on stablecoins rewards is dead on arrival. Were ICBA to succeed in defeating CLARITY over this issue (doubtful), their “reward” would be that GENIUS controls. Which, if ICBA’s argument is to be believed, would be catastrophic to their members. As they say: play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Instead of committing continued lobbying malpractice, ICBA should be enthusiastically supporting the compromise that Senators Tillis and Alsobrooks have reached, which addresses the issue of idle yield head-on in a way that can actually become law.

New polling released as we prepare for #ICBASummit shows Americans strongly support community banks—and want digital assets policy that protects local lending and access to insured deposits. icba.org/w/new-polling-…

These exchanges are regulated—exclusively—by @CFTC. Clear, consistent lines of authority are essential for market integrity and consumer protection. Credit to @ChairmanSelig and his team for continuing to drive this point home.
Mike Selig@ChairmanSelig

Today, the @CFTC sued the State of Wisconsin for encroaching on its exclusive legal authority over prediction markets. We won’t be intimidated by overzealous states seeking to nullify federal law.⬇️ cftc.gov/PressRoom/Pres…
