🚨 MOST IMPORTANT FIGHT IN CRYPTO HAPPENING! The White House is stepping in tomorrow with a closed door meeting that could decide the future of US crypto regulation. This is not routine. This is a pressure move.
The entire market structure bill is stuck on one question. Should stablecoin holders be allowed to earn yield.
Everything else is noise.
Banks see yield bearing stablecoins as an existential threat. If crypto platforms can offer 3% while bank deposits pay almost nothing, money moves. Bank trade groups are warning that up to $6.6 trillion in deposits could be at risk. From their view, this is about survival.
Crypto companies see it the opposite way. A yield ban protects banks and kills competition. Stablecoins are already a massive business. Coinbase alone made $355 million from them in Q3 2025 and is tracking toward over $1 billion a year. That is why Brian Armstrong pushed back hard when the Senate tried to tighten yield rules.
On paper, stablecoin issuers already cannot pay interest under the GENIUS Act. But the real fight is the loophole. Can exchanges and platforms still share reserve income through rewards and incentives. Banks flagged this in August 2025. Now it is the single blocker holding everything up.
The House passed the CLARITY Act back in July 2025. Since then, the Senate has been split. Banking and Agriculture committees moved different versions. No unified bill. No momentum.
That is why the White House is intervening. They want compromise language locked by the end of February 2026 before election politics freeze the calendar. Without a yield deal, nothing moves. No markup. No floor vote. No clarity.
This is not just about stablecoins. It is about who controls money in the next decade.
If they strike a deal, regulation finally moves forward.
If they fail, uncertainty drags on and the market stays stuck.
