CLARITY Act tweak preserves stablecoin rewards, lifting Circle shares

Lawmakers revised the CLARITY Act to bar crypto firms from offering passive stablecoin yields, reserving such returns for traditional banks, while allowing usage-based rewards tied to activity like trading or staking. The compromise is a win for Circle and Coinbase, with Circle up about 16% and Coinbase more than 7% as markets digest the development; Bitcoin hovered near $79–80k. Banks welcomed the move for reducing deposit flight and enabling regulated digital-asset infrastructure, though smaller platforms reliant on high-yield deposits could face pressure.

Bernstein says Circle selloff may overstate risk as Clarity Act targets distributors, not issuers

Bernstein argues the recent Circle stock drop tied to proposed stablecoin rules may be overdone, noting the Clarity Act focuses on distributors of stablecoins rather than issuers. Circle earns revenue from its reserve holdings and does not pay direct yields to token holders, a distinction Bernstein says could actually strengthen Circle’s position. The near-term impact is expected to hit intermediaries like Coinbase, while Bernstein remains bullish on Circle and Coinbase due to long‑term stablecoin adoption.

Coinbase Under Senate Spotlight Over Stablecoin Rewards

Coinbase is watching a major crypto bill advance toward Senate review, with the central issue being whether platforms can continue offering rewards on stablecoin holdings. Coinbase views those rewards as a core part of its business and may resist strict limits, while some lawmakers want rules that could restrict rewards to banks. Stablecoin rewards underpin a meaningful revenue stream tied to USDC reserves, with about 3.5% yields on certain holdings and Bloomberg data projecting roughly $1.3 billion in stablecoin-related revenue for 2025. Wall Street currently signals a Moderate Buy on COIN with an average target of $361.63, implying about 50% upside.
