A new round of talks regarding stablecoin yields has been scheduled at the White House. According to journalist Eleanor Terrett, citing a source in the banking sector, the next meeting between cryptocurrency industry representatives and banks will take place on Tuesday.
The discussions will again be at a technical level, but this time, direct representatives from the banks and sector trade groups will also be at the table, it was stated.
The yield mechanisms provided for stablecoins and their integration with the banking system have been the subject of intense debate in Washington recently. In particular, the Clarity Act, a comprehensive market regulation bill on the congressional agenda, has led to disagreements between both cryptocurrency companies and traditional financial institutions.
Several prominent figures in the cryptocurrency sector are critical of the bill. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong argued that the regulation contains problematic provisions regarding decentralized finance (DeFi) regulations, stablecoin yield rewards, and the classification of tokens as securities. It was noteworthy that Armstrong withdrew his support last month for a version of the bill that was progressing through the Senate Banking Committee.
