U.S. community banks launch campaign against Clarity bill over stablecoin rewards

The U.S. community banking industry has launched a public campaign against the Clarity bill, a crypto market-structure measure under discussion in the Senate. The Independent Community Bankers of America said allowing yields or rewards on stablecoin holdings could trigger $1.3 trillion in deposit outflows and cut loans by $850 billion. The Senate Banking Committee advanced the bill on May 15. Crypto industry groups rejected ICBA’s claims, while passage remains uncertain.

Opponents have also mobilised, citing weaknesses in anti-money laundering provisions, ethics rules and stablecoin-related gaps. Prediction markets and some institutional forecasts have lowered estimates for passage before August.
