🇺🇸 Breakthrough in Washington: Are Stablecoins Becoming Legal?
The US Senate has just released an updated version of the CLARITY Act, and it’s a real turning point for the crypto market. After months of wrangling, lawmakers have found a compromise that could change the way we use digital dollars.
⚖️ What’s the compromise?
The biggest obstacle was the issue of interest. Banks were afraid of competition, and crypto companies wanted to pay users. The solution:
“Activity rewards” instead of passive income.
• ❌ Stop “bank interest”: Issuers are prohibited from paying interest simply for holding stablecoins on your balance (passive income).
• ✅ Green light for activity: You will be able to receive bonuses and rewards if you actually use the asset: make transfers, pay for purchases, or participate in the ecosystem.
🚀 Why is this cool?
1. Legalization: This is actually the recognition of stablecoins as a full-fledged means of payment at the US level.
2. Institutional capital: Clear rules of the game are a signal for large funds to enter the market.
3. The market reacts: Against the background of the news, BTC is already confidently holding above $80,000, and shares of crypto companies are soaring.
📅 What's next?
The consideration of the bill in the relevant committee is scheduled for May 14. If it is passed, we will receive the first federal framework in US history for regulating the crypto dollar.
