U.S. Senators Thom Tillis and Angela Alsobrooks released compromise text Friday for the CLARITY Act, addressing stablecoin yields as the final major hurdle in the crypto market structure bill. The agreement bans yields equivalent to bank deposits but allows rewards for bona fide activities. Crypto industry leaders quickly endorsed it and urged the Senate Banking Committee to schedule a markup.
The U.S. Senate Banking Committee has postponed a key vote on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, amid disagreements over stablecoin provisions and opposition from Coinbase. The delay, originally set for January 15, 2026, highlights tensions between crypto innovators and regulators. While the White House has reportedly threatened to withdraw support, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong refuted such rumors, praising the administration's constructive role.

Senate Judiciary Committee leaders Chuck Grassley and Dick Durbin have raised concerns about a provision in a cryptocurrency market structure bill led by Senate Banking Chair Tim Scott, arguing it encroaches on their committee's jurisdiction. The dispute centers on exemptions for crypto software developers, which they say could hinder law enforcement efforts against money laundering. The bill's markup has been postponed amid this opposition and industry pushback.
