    Top Lawmaker Shuts Down Coinbase Plea for Interest-Bearing Stablecoins

    As stablecoin legislation races toward the finish line in both chambers of Congress, crypto leaders have issued increasingly direct appeals to make those bills more favorable to their industry—but they're encountering resistance from lawmakers.  One emergent sticking point has been whether U.S.-regulated stablecoins should be allowed to generate interest for holders moving forward. On Coinbase, for instance, users can currently earn 4.1% APY on their USDC deposits—an attractive feature that coul...

    Stablecoin Legislation Shouldn’t Force Issuers to Comply With Bank Secrecy Act: Rep. Tom Emmer

    In a potential sign of brewing tensions regarding key language in multiple stablecoin bills circulating in Congress, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) said this week he doesn’t believe stablecoin issuers like Tether should have to comply with the anti-money laundering Bank Secrecy Act—a major sticking point of both the Senate’s stablecoin-focused GENIUS Act, and the House’s parallel STABLE Act.  Including such a provision in the legislation could box out foreign issuers while favoring U.S. co...

    Wyoming Stablecoin Is Just a State-Issued CBDC by Another Name: Rep. Tom Emmer

    Trump Is Taking On the Fed—With Crypto as the Tip of the Spear

    As President Donald Trump continues to test the limits of executive authority by reshaping all manner of U.S. government agencies, one such battle appears poised to rope in the cryptocurrency industry: a brewing war against the Federal Reserve and its publicly stated mission to remain independent. Since the early 1950s, the Fed has enjoyed final say on key decisions related to the American banking system and U.S. monetary policy. Now the Trump administration and its Republican allies in Congress...

    House Bill to Build Trump’s Bitcoin Reserve Has One Major Difference

    On Friday, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) introduced legislation in the House of Representatives that would enshrine into law President Donald Trump’s proposed Strategic Bitcoin Reserve—but the bill is crucially different from the legislation introduced in the Senate earlier this week.  Unlike the Bitcoin Act put forth by Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) on Tuesday, which would commit the U.S. government to buying up some $80 billion worth of Bitcoin, Donalds’ Reserve and Stockpile Act does not call for th...
