Forecast Trend Report by Period
A compromise on restrictions for stablecoin yield payments appears set to remain in place despite opposition from the banking industry.
Eleanor Terrett, host of CryptoAmerica, wrote on May 4 that Senators Thom Tillis and Angela Alsobrooks said in a joint statement that they "respectfully agree to disagree" on a recently negotiated compromise over stablecoin yield.
The statement came after banking groups criticized the compromise as not doing enough to limit interest payments. Terrett interpreted the remarks as a signal that lawmakers plan to keep the existing agreement intact without further revisions.
Banking associations had previously indicated they would seek additional changes, arguing that arrangements allowing stablecoins to be used more like deposits should face tighter restrictions.
