U.S. CLARITY bill markup on May 14 seen as turning point amid fight over stablecoin rewards and conflicts

The U.S. Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee will hold a markup on May 14 for the CLARITY bill, a crypto market structure measure. A compromise would bar simple interest on stablecoin balances but allow rewards tied to transaction activity, drawing calls for tighter language from banking groups. Democrats want ethics provisions on digital asset conflicts for federal officials in the bill text, while Republicans dispute jurisdiction. The White House rejects targeted ethics language.
