White House Convenes Banks and Crypto Companies Amid CLARITY Act Deadlock

Officials in US President Donald Trump’s administration are set to meet banking and cryptocurrency executives on Monday as lawmakers try to revive the stalled CLARITY Act.

People familiar with the matter told Reuters the meeting will be hosted by the White House’s crypto council and will bring together industry trade groups to discuss how the bill treats interest and other rewards offered on dollar-pegged stablecoins.

The legislation has been held up in the Senate for months, with a scheduled Banking Committee vote postponed earlier this month amid concerns from lawmakers and industry groups over the stablecoin interest provision.

The CLARITY Act is a proposed crypto market-structure bill that seeks to clarify how digital assets are regulated in the United States, including how oversight would be divided between the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

Progress on the CLARITY Act has been slowed by a dispute over whether third parties should be allowed to offer yield on stablecoins.

While the GENIUS Act, passed in July 2025, bars stablecoin issuers from paying interest, it leaves open whether exchanges or other intermediaries can provide rewards, a gap that has fueled tension between crypto companies and traditional banks.

For months, bank lobbyists have pushed Congress to prohibit third-party stablecoin yield, arguing it could trigger deposit flight and weaken the banking system. On Jan. 15, Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan warned that interest-bearing stablecoins could draw as much as $6 trillion out of US banks, potentially constraining lending and raising borrowing costs.

Crypto exchanges such as Coinbase, which offer rewards on stablecoin holdings, argue that banks are attempting to use legislation to eliminate competition. On Jan. 14, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong withdrew the company’s support for the bill, saying Coinbase would “rather have no bill than a bad bill.”

Opposition to the bill within the crypto sector is not uniform. Several prominent companies and advocacy groups, including Coin Center, a16z, the Digital Chamber, Kraken and Ripple have expressed support for the Senate’s version of the CLARITY Act.

Fed’s Hammack Backs Restrictive Policy Over Fed Rate Cuts

Fed’s Hammack Backs Restrictive Policy Over Fed Rate Cuts

The post Fed’s Hammack Backs Restrictive Policy Over Fed Rate Cuts appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cleveland Federal Reserve President Beth Hammack has advocated for a restrictive monetary policy amid growing concerns of rising inflation . Her comment comes as Fed officials remain divided on whether they should make a Fed rate cut at the October FOMC meeting, a move that would impact the crypto market. Hammack Raises Inflation Concerns Amid Fed Rate Cut Debate Hammack stated that inflation continues to exceed the Fed’s objective and remains a concern across both headline and core categories. Speaking on CNBC, she noted that price growth remains above the Federal Reserve’s 2% objective and is not expected to return to target until the end of 2027 or early 2028. The Fed president added that pressures are most apparent in the services sector, where inflation has proven more persistent. Notably, her comments follow the first Fed rate cut of the year, two weeks ago at the September FOMC meeting.  In her remarks, Hammack said monetary policy must remain restrictive to ensure progress toward the inflation target, indicating that she doesn’t favor further Fed rate cuts for now. She explained that the Federal Reserve’s dual mandate requires balancing price stability with employment, but argued that inflation remains the greater challenge at present. “When I balance those two sides of our mandate, I think we really need to maintain a restrictive stance of policy so that we can get inflation back down to our goal,” she said. Inflation Over the Jobs Market Hammack pointed to service-related spending as an area where inflationary pressures remain strong. She explained that both headline and main price levels are still above target, with little evidence of near-term relief. She described the U.S. labor market as “reasonably healthy” and overall balanced, noting that current conditions do not show major weaknesses. However, Hammack stressed that maintaining this balance…
