The American Bankers Association and 76 state banking groups sent a letter to Senate leaders requesting stronger restrictions on stablecoin yields in the CLARITY Act. The letter states that the current language could lead to deposit flight from community banks.
Background on the CLARITY Act The CLARITY Act is legislation under consideration in the Senate that addresses stablecoin regulation. The banking groups argue that without additional yield guardrails, stablecoins could draw deposits away from traditional banks.
The letter does not name specific yield limits but calls for clearer boundaries to protect deposit bases. The groups represent both national and state-level banking associations. No timeline for further Senate action was provided in the letter.
