GENIUS Act Signed

President Trump has issued a direct warning to the banking sector, accusing institutions of sabotaging the GENIUS Act and obstructing the Clarity Act. The conflict centers on a high-stakes dispute over whether crypto exchanges can offer yield on stablecoin deposits, a move banks fear will trigger significant deposit flight.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has proposed new rules to implement the GENIUS Act, effectively banning yield on payment stablecoins. This regulatory maneuver is designed to resolve long-standing friction and accelerate the passage of the CLARITY Act by separating payment tools from investment products.
