🌟The market is currently reeling from a leaked draft of the CLARITY Act that proposes a strict ban on passive yields for stablecoins like USDC.

As a result, $Circle Internet Corp.(CRCL)$ plunged 20%, its worst day on record while $Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$ dived nearly 10%.

Traditional banks argue that stablecoin rewards create unfair competition with bank deposits. 

The latest draft prohibits any payment that is "economically or functionally equivalent to interest."

Is this latest draft fatal for Coinbase & Circle?

Not necessarily.  The draft allows for activity based rewards tied to loyalty, trading or promotional programs. 

This means that Coinbase could still reward you for using USDC, just not for letting it sit idle.

In the long term, the CLARITY Act is a positive catalyst. It defines the rules, which could unlock billions in institutional capital that has been waiting for a legal framework.
