Policy & Regulation:
The White House will hold a meeting with banks and crypto companies on February 2nd Eastern Time to reach a legislative compromise
The White House will convene a meeting next Monday with senior executives from the banking and cryptocurrency sectors to push forward the stalled crypto legislation due to fierce disagreements. The meeting will focus on clauses related to stablecoin interest and other yields. Hosted by the White House Crypto Advisory Committee, representatives from multiple industry organizations will attend. Crypto firms believe offering yields is crucial for attracting users; restricting this could harm competitiveness. Banks worry that deposit outflows might threaten financial stability. Standard Chartered Bank’s report this week estimates that by 2028, stablecoins could cause about $500 billion in deposit outflows from US banks.
The legislation aims to establish a federal regulatory framework for digital assets. The House of Representatives passed its version last July. The Senate Banking Committee was scheduled to review and vote on it earlier this month but postponed due to disagreements over yield clauses and intra-party divisions on stablecoin provisions. Analysts note that this meeting underscores the Trump administration’s urgent push to pass the bill.
