📰 The stablecoin yield loophole: Banks vs the CLARITY Act
🗓️ May 25 2026 12:31 UTC - Rony Roy
The American Bankers Association is fighting to close the stablecoin yield loophole in the CLARITY Act. Here's what banks are really defending and what's at stake.
➤ The American Bankers Association (ABA) is lobbying against a provision in the CLARITY Act that would allow crypto exchanges to offer rewards on stablecoin balances, fearing it will lead to significant deposit flight from traditional banks.
➤ Banks argue this 'stablecoin yield loophole' threatens lending capacity by diverting funds from low-yield checking and savings accounts to higher-yield stablecoin alternatives, impacting consumer, small business, and agricultural lending.
➤ The crypto industry and the White House counter that banks are defending outdated profit models and that the CLARITY Act, in its current form, represents a necessary compromise for a more competitive financial system.
