Coinbase chief legal officer @iampaulgrewal joins The Daily Wolf host @scottmelker for a discussion around the latest updates on the Senate's CLARITY Act for stablecoin regulation. Full episode: finance.yahoo.com/video/is-the-c…

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.

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

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 ⬇️

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. 🇺🇸
