  • U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent has reiterated the urgency of crypto market structure legislation.
  • Second meeting signals compromise on stablecoin yield, no deal yet.
  • Bitcoin whales are increasing their holdings amid regulatory optimism.

United States Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has urged the Senate to prioritize the passage of the CLARITY Act. Bessent slammed industry participants against the crypto market structure legislation, led by Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ: COIN), amid discussions on stablecoin yield with the White House.

“I think it is impossible to proceed without it. We have to get this Clarity Act across the finish line,” Bessent stated.

Bessent Advocates for CLARITY Act Passage in 2026

According to Bessent, the United States Senate must pass the CLARITY Act to give the country a step ahead as the crypto capital of the world. As such, Bessent urged crypto industry participants against this bill to either onboard or leave the country for other jurisdictions.

Notably, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong pulled out the company’s support for the CLARITY Act due to concerns of stablecoins yields. According to Armstrong, banks should build competitive stablecoins that pay investors higher yields.

Already, the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry voted 12–11 on a party-line vote with no Democratic support. As such, Bessent has urged bipartisan support to push the bill towards the President’s desk soon.

White House Arbitrates On Stablecoin Yields Issue

The White House under President Donald Trump has pushed to end the bipartisan impasse by addressing the core issue. On Tuesday, February 10, the White House brought together industry experts from the banking sector and the crypto space to harmonize on the stablecoin yield issue. 

Tuesday’s meeting was the second time and was led by Patrick Witt, who sits on the President’s Council of Advisors for digital assets. According to Ripple CLO Stuart Alderoty, compromise is in the air regarding stablecoin yield, but no specific deal was reached 

“The Trump Admin’s decision to keep convening stakeholders reflects a real commitment to working through these issues as the Senate Banking Committee continues its work,” Dan Spuller, Vice President at Blockchain Association, stated.

The need to pass the CLARITY Act is both a political move and an economic stance. Furthermore, the crypto community in the United States has surpassed 50 million, thus forming a solid voting bloc ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. 

What’s the Market Impact?

The unwavering support of crypto market structure legislation by the Trump administration has bolstered demand from institutional investors. Amid the ongoing crypto capitulation fueled by a significant decline in its Open Interest (OI), onchain data shows large whales have been accumulating.

For instance, Bitcoin addresses with at least 1000 BTC have been accumulating in the recent past, surging to around 2050 after a decline below 2000. As such, the imminent passage of the CLARITY Act would improve regulatory clarity and potentially support capital flows into the broader altcoin market.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
