A fresh update from Coinbase reveals that U.S. lawmakers are actively working behind the scenes to push the bill forward after recent tensions around stablecoin rewards. What looked stalled just weeks ago is now moving again, with real timelines forming.

The key development? A new compromise proposal that could reshape how stablecoins operate. Lawmakers are considering banning passive yield simply for holding stablecoins, while still allowing more limited, activity-based rewards tied to payments or platform usage. It’s a middle ground and it might be enough to break the deadlock.
Behind the scenes, crypto industry leaders are already coordinating a counterproposal, aiming to finalize the reward structure within the next three weeks. That sets up a critical window.

If things move as expected, the Senate Banking Committee could take up the bill for markup in the second half of April with a potential final passage as early as May.

This isn’t just another regulatory headline.

This is one of the most important crypto bills in the U.S. and it’s very much alive.

The next few weeks could define how crypto operates at scale in the world’s largest economy.

$XRP price is trading at $1.36 amid renewed controversy that could rattle institutional confidence and prediction in the asset, and in the exchange that hosts much of its volume. The allegation isn’t new, but its timing is pointed.
Ripple CTO David Schwartz first raised the pay-to-list claim in 2023, and it’s back in circulation with fresh teeth. What happens next at the $1.27 support level may answer a question the chart has been asking for weeks.
Schwartz’s earlier claim that Coinbase demanded millions in listing fees before agreeing to carry XRP. According to the account, Ripple initially refused, and the asset sat off-platform until a deal was struck.
Once listed, XRP allegedly drove approximately 20% of Coinbase’s revenue. Pumpius called it “a classic pay-to-play shakedown in the ‘decentralised’ crypto world.” At least one other X user escalated further, using the word extortion directly.
XRP’s current ceiling problem, heavy supply at $1.76–$1.80, bearish momentum, and a controversy that won’t quiet down, illustrate a recurring dynamic in crypto: established assets attract scrutiny and structural resistance simultaneously.
LiquidChain ($LIQUID) is a Layer 3 infrastructure project positioning itself as the cross-chain liquidity layer, fusing Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana liquidity into a single execution environment. The architecture includes a Unified Liquidity Layer, Single-Step Execution, Verifiable Settlement, and a Deploy-Once Architecture that lets developers access all three ecosystems without redeployment.
The presale is currently priced at $0.0144, with more than $600K raised to date. Early-stage positioning at this price means exposure before any exchange listing dynamics, plus a 1700% APY staking rewards.

When America's largest crypto exchange publicly pushes back on a bill that's supposed to help the industry — you need to stop and ask why.
Coinbase has once again rejected the latest draft of the CLARITY Act, specifically citing concerns over restrictions on stablecoin yield. The exchange warned the proposed rules could limit how stablecoin yields are structured across the industry. CoinCodex
To understand why this matters, you need to understand who's on the other side of the argument. Banks — led by the American Bankers Association — argued that allowing crypto platforms to pay yield on stablecoin balances would trigger deposit flight from traditional savings accounts and threaten lending capacity. OANDA In other words: banks are scared that if you can earn 5% yield on USDC, nobody parks money in a savings account earning 0.5%.
And honestly? They're right to be scared. That's exactly what would happen.
On March 20, Senators Thom Tillis and Angela Alsobrooks announced they had reached an "agreement in principle" with the White House on the stablecoin yield treatment — describing it as the single largest obstacle blocking the bill's advancement. OANDA The deal was supposed to unlock everything. But Coinbase's public rejection this week shows the industry isn't fully on board with the compromise.
Here's my take: the tension here is real, and it matters. Stablecoin yield is one of DeFi's most powerful tools for financial inclusion — especially in countries like Vietnam, Nigeria, or Brazil where local savings rates are terrible and inflation is high. If the U.S. bans or restricts yield on stablecoins to protect American banks, the innovation just moves offshore.
SEC Chairman Atkins acknowledged this week that the SEC's previous approach "precipitated the migration of an entire asset class toward offshore jurisdictions." OANDA A yield ban could do the same thing all over again.
Congress needs to get this right. The stakes are too high to get it wrong.
Not financial advice.

Detroit Lawyers Join Michigan's Legal Push Against Coinbase
Detroit's decision to file an amicus brief, a "friend of the court" filing from a party not directly involved in the case, carries unusual weight. The city is home to all three of Michigan's commercial casinos, giving it a direct financial interest in how the state regulates gambling-adjacent products.
Those three casinos generated over $200 million in revenue during January and February 2026 alone, contributing more than $24 million in state taxes over the same period. If prediction markets expand without state oversight, Detroit stands to lose a share of that revenue to unregulated competitors.

Revenue generated by Detroit's 3 commercial casinos, yielding $24M+ in state taxes — the financial stake behind Detroit's amicus brief supporting Michigan's bid to block Coinbase prediction markets.
Detroit is the first U.S. city to formally enter the growing legal dispute over prediction markets by filing an amicus brief. The move could set a precedent, potentially encouraging other gambling-dependent cities like Las Vegas or Atlantic City to file similar briefs in their respective states.
