Stablecoin Yield Debate Splits US Lawmakers and Crypto Industry
-

A major sticking point in ongoing US crypto legislation is the question of whether stablecoin issuers should be allowed to offer yield or rewards to users. Figures such as Eric Trump argue that banning such rewards would prevent companies from giving incentives to customers and slow innovation in the sector.
However, some banking groups warn that stablecoin yield could encourage people to move money out of traditional bank deposits, potentially increasing financial risks. The disagreement has created a divide between the crypto industry and parts of the banking sector, making it harder for lawmakers to finalize new digital asset regulations.
