President Donald Trump said he hopes Congress will finalize the stalled crypto market structure bill, but did not outline a timeline as Senate negotiations remained stuck over stablecoin yield language on Feb. 17.
The market structure push centers on H.R. 3633, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, a House-passed proposal that would split oversight of most cryptocurrencies between the SEC and CFTC. The measure cleared the House on July 17, 2025 by a 294-134 vote, but Senate Banking talks have bogged down over stablecoin yield and rewards language.
Market snapshot: Data showed bitcoin down about 0.2% over 24 hours near $68,800 with estimated 24 hour volume around $36.4 billion, while ether was up about 1.2% near $1,997 with volume around $19.4 billion.
In an Oval Office bill-signing ceremony on Feb. 2, Trump said he hoped lawmakers would complete the CLARITY market structure bill, telling Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, “I hope that gets done,” according to a transcript.
The White House also highlighted Trump’s Jan. 21 remarks at the World Economic Forum in Davos in which he said he hoped to sign crypto market structure legislation soon, according to a White House recap.
Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott said the committee would postpone a markup of digital asset market structure legislation as bipartisan negotiations continue, according to his statement.
In the Senate, negotiators have tried to restart momentum after a series of postponements that we tracked through the canceled committee markup and later calendar slippage tied to housing priorities.
The political reality is that the bill’s path runs through the stablecoin fight. The Senate has struggled to reconcile bank concerns about rewards programs with crypto industry demands to preserve on-chain incentives, the same tension behind recent White House yield talks.
Crypto market structure bill stalls on stablecoin yield carveouts
The dispute is not simply about a number on a screen. It is about who gets to hold cash-like balances in a regulated way, and who captures the spread between what reserves earn and what users receive.
Banks have argued that interest-like stablecoin rewards could pull deposits out of the banking system, raising funding costs and, in stress scenarios, making liquidity management harder. Crypto advocates counter that if banks want to keep balances, they should compete by offering compliant products instead of using legislation to cap yield-like features in competing rails, a dynamic we explored in our banking and stablecoin coverage.
The White House has been trying to broker a compromise between banking and crypto representatives, including meetings focused on stablecoin yield, according to Crypto in America. The talks have overlapped with criticism from crypto executives and lobbying from banks and trade groups, and the impasse has become a practical choke point for market structure momentum.
One reason the yield fight is sticky is that stablecoins sit at the center of trading and settlement. Stablecoin rules are not just about payments, they are about the cash leg of almost every crypto market. The St. Louis Fed, for example, has highlighted how U.S. stablecoin rules can shape what kinds of “interest” or “yield” offers exist on top of tokens, and where that activity migrates, in its GENIUS Act explainer.
CLARITY Act: SEC vs CFTC split and DeFi scope
The CLARITY Act, H.R. 3633, is the most developed public text for the market structure debate, and it is still the reference point for how a final U.S. framework might define crypto categories and registration obligations. The current House text is published on GovInfo.
In plain English, market structure is about assigning responsibility. Firms want to know whether a token and its spot market falls under a securities framework, a commodities-style framework, or some hybrid, and what happens to exchanges and brokers that need a single registration lane. That is the uncertainty that keeps resurfacing in Washington as policy deadlines slip.
The Senate’s delays have also pulled other actors into the debate. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s comments on stablecoin rewards and deposit risk put the issue on a wider political stage, which we covered in our report on the White House negotiations and industry pushback.
Senate Banking calendar and White House talks
The next procedural catalyst is straightforward: a posted markup date. The Senate Banking Committee has not consistently provided a reliable timeline for market structure, so the committee’s markups calendar is the clearest public checkpoint.
The second catalyst is text. If negotiators produce updated language that draws a line between issuer-paid yield and platform-funded rewards, and explains what counts as “active use” versus passive holding, it can narrow the gap enough to restart committee action. Without that, the debate risks remaining a fight over protecting deposit franchises rather than a plan to build competitive, compliant on-chain dollar rails.
For now, what remains unknown is whether negotiators can produce compromise language that keeps stablecoins usable without turning rewards into a de facto ban. Until a schedule is posted, traders will be left watching headlines and internal deadlines rather than a predictable legislative calendar.$BTC #BinanceSquareTalks #StablecoinRevolution #MarketStructureBill

Alors que nous naviguons à travers 2026, l'économie mondiale subit un changement silencieux mais sismique. Nous avons dépassé l'ère de "la crypto en tant qu'actif spéculatif" et sommes entrés dans l'ère du PayFi où la blockchain agit comme l'infrastructure financière principale d'un monde de plus en plus autonome.
Au cœur de cette transformation se trouvent les stablecoins. Ne se contentant plus d'être un "refuge sûr" pour les traders, ils sont devenus le sang vital programmable de l'Économie Machine, un réseau où les agents IA, les dispositifs IoT et les systèmes autonomes effectuent des transactions sans intervention humaine.

La plupart des gens se concentrent sur le prix du Bitcoin.

Le capital intelligent surveille les stablecoins.

Parce que les stablecoins ne sont pas seulement des « équivalents de liquidités ».

Ce sont des armes de liquidité.

Chaque grande expansion de cycle dans la crypto a été précédée par une chose : la croissance de l'offre de stablecoins. Pas de récits. Pas de gros titres d'ETF. Pas de battage médiatique d'influenceurs.

Expansion de la liquidité.

Lorsque les capitalisations boursières des stablecoins augmentent, cela signifie que de la poudre sèche entre dans l'écosystème. Le capital se prépare à être déployé. Il ne se déploie pas toujours immédiatement — mais il est sur le banc de touche, à l'intérieur des rails crypto.

Ensuite viennent des jetons de gaz que vous ne possédez pas, des frais imprévisibles et des temps d'attente qui semblent coincés dans le passé.
C'est le fossé que Plasma s'efforce de combler discrètement.
Plasma permet déjà des transferts USDT sans frais sur son L1, avec des milliards en liquidité de stablecoin et une finalité en sous-seconde. La pièce manquante a toujours été le mouvement inter-chaînes—et c'est là que HOT Bridge entre en jeu.

La colonne vertébrale de l'économie crypto
Les stablecoins sont le pont entre l'argent traditionnel et les marchés crypto.
Ils combinent la stabilité des devises fiat avec la rapidité des transactions sur blockchain.
Sans stablecoins, le trading crypto moderne et la DeFi ne fonctionneraient pas efficacement.
1️⃣ Qu'est-ce que les stablecoins ?
Les stablecoins sont des cryptomonnaies conçues pour maintenir une valeur stable — généralement indexée sur :
USD (le plus courant)
EUR
Or
D'autres actifs du monde réel
Exemple : 1 USDT ≈ $1
1 USDC ≈ $1
🔑 La stabilité les rend utiles comme espèces numériques.
