The compromise proposal for the cryptocurrency market structure bill has sparked industry divisions, with Coinbase expressing dissatisfaction with the stablecoin yield provisions
This week, a compromise proposal regarding the yield section of the Clarity Act by U.S. Senators has sparked mixed reactions within the crypto industry. Coinbase has expressed dissatisfaction with the latest compromise text to the senator's staff but has not publicly stated opposition.
The proposal was presented to stakeholders in the crypto industry on Monday, with some expressing dissatisfaction while others felt the outcome was better than expected. The proposal will instruct certain regulatory agencies to formulate rules to clarify the regulatory approach to yield-generating activities, but there are concerns that regulators may set subjective standards. Additionally, the text may limit companies' ability to tie rewards to the scale of stablecoin transactions.
During this week's industry conference call, Coinbase had disagreements with other parties, with some companies believing that giving up certain stablecoin rewards is too costly, while others felt that losing the Clarity Act poses a greater risk to the overall legislative framework for the crypto industry. Previously, news related to this compromise proposal had impacted the market, with Circle's stock price dropping 20% on Tuesday and slightly rebounding on Wednesday.
White House crypto advisor Patrick Witt criticized the related predictions on the X platform as "uninformed" and stated that "everything will be resolved." The final text is expected to be released this weekend or early next week.
