U.S. bank groups seek to tighten Clarity Act stablecoin rewards limits
Concerns are rising in both the banking sector and the crypto industry over the final version of the Clarity Act ahead of a U.S. Senate procedural vote. Eight U.S. banking groups asked Senate leaders to strengthen limits on stablecoin rewards, warning the revised bill could allow payments similar to deposit interest. Crypto industry figures also criticized the amendment for omitting protection from federal criminal prosecution for certain developers. The Senate plans a procedural vote on Sept. 16, requiring 60 votes to advance.
