The Senate CLARITY Act, aimed at regulating the U.S. digital-asset market, faces strong opposition from banking lobbyists who want to restrict crypto exchanges from offering rewards on stablecoin deposits, citing risks to traditional bank deposits.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 40 sources have reported it between 22 Jul 2026 and 2 Oct 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a delay and uncertainty in stablecoin reward products as banking groups push to limit crypto deposit yields that threaten their funding. This opens a window to pivot product offers or lobby in favour of clearer rules that broaden market access.
