White House Confirms CLARITY Act Stablecoin Yield Compromise Is Holding
The stablecoin yield deadlock that stalled crypto legislation for a year is resolved.
What Changed
On April 14, White House crypto adviser Patrick Witt confirmed the Tillis-Alsobrooks compromise on stablecoin yields is durable. The deal prohibits passive yield on stablecoins but permits activity-based rewards tied to payments and platform usage. The Senate Banking Committee is targeting a late-April markup.
Who It Affects
Stablecoin issuers, exchanges earning yield on customer stablecoin holdings, banks concerned about deposit competition, and any platform integrating stablecoins as a payment or savings product.
What to Do
Model your stablecoin revenue under the 'no passive yield / activity rewards permitted' framework. If passive yield is material to your business model, redesign now. Monitor the Banking Committee calendar for the markup date.
