Jamie Dimon criticizes Brian Armstrong over clarity act

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon sharply criticized Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong on Friday over provisions in the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. Dimon warned that the bill's approach to stablecoin rewards could lead to failure without stronger bank-style protections.

In an interview with Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business, Dimon said the current draft allows stablecoin issuers to pay interest on deposits without required safeguards. He stated that banks will not accept the framework and predicted it would eventually blow up if unchanged.

Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon endorsed the CLARITY Act on July 23 despite opposition from other major banks. Senate leadership indicated the bill is unlikely to pass before the summer recess. White House officials pushed back on that assessment.

The Senate Banking Committee plans to mark up the CLARITY Act next week, but Democratic demands for conflict-of-interest rules and banking opposition to stablecoin rewards threaten to derail the effort. Negotiators reached a compromise on stablecoin yields earlier this month, yet banks argue the language still permits evasion. A long-delayed vote on the bill, which aims to clarify digital asset oversight between the SEC and CFTC, now hangs in the balance.

Speaking at Consensus 2026 in Miami Beach, he emphasized that a Senate Banking Committee hearing this month is crucial for its advancement. Without it in the next two weeks, the bill's chances could drop sharply.

Democratic senators are preparing to publicly oppose the crypto market structure bill known as the Clarity Act, citing its failure to address conflicts of interest tied to President Donald Trump's holdings. The move comes as negotiations on an ethics provision remain unresolved with time running short in the Senate. Trump has urged passage of the bill despite the impasse.
