Today’s crypto news to know

Banks dig in on stablecoin yield as Clarity Act stalls

US banks are hardening their position on stablecoin rules, escalating a policy clash that has left the long-awaited Clarity Act stuck in Congress.

During a White House–hosted meeting led by the administration’s crypto council, banking groups circulated a proposal calling for an outright ban on paying interest or other incentives to stablecoin holders.

The draft language states: “No person may provide any form of financial or non-financial consideration to a stablecoin holder” in connection with holding or using a payment stablecoin.

Banking groups warned that allowing yield on stablecoins could “drive deposit flight that would undercut Main Street lending,” while crypto advocates argued innovation should not be stifled. The dispute centers on whether stablecoin rewards resemble bank deposits, potentially siphoning funds from traditional lenders.

‘As we noted during the meeting, that framework can and must embrace financial innovation without undermining safety and soundness, and without putting the bank deposits that fuel local lending and drive economic activity at risk. We look forward to ongoing discussions to move market structure legislation forward,’ the American Bankers Association (ABA) said in a statement following the meeting.

The standoff has become the main obstacle preventing the Clarity Act from advancing, despite earlier passage of the GENIUS Act, which created a federal framework for dollar-backed stablecoins.

Franklin Templeton, Binance roll out tokenized collateral program

Franklin Templeton and Binance have launched an institutional collateral program that allows tokenized money market fund shares to be used for crypto trading margin.

Issued via Franklin’s blockchain-based Benji platform, the tokenized shares remain in regulated third-party custody while Binance mirrors their value for trading purposes. The structure is designed to reduce counterparty risk by keeping assets off the exchange, addressing a longstanding concern among institutional investors.

Because the collateral consists of yield-bearing money market fund shares, institutions can continue earning interest while deploying capital for crypto trades. T

Currently, participation is limited to qualified institutional clients meeting Binance’s risk and compliance standards.

Goldman Sachs maintains US$1B Bitcoin ETF exposure

Goldman Sachs disclosed in its latest SEC filing that it holds just over US$1 billion in exposure to Bitcoin through exchange-traded funds, even as the asset has fallen sharply from its October peak.

The exposure is split across products including BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust and Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin ETF. Bitcoin has dropped roughly 47 percent from its high and is trading near US$67,000, part of a broader US$2 trillion drawdown across the crypto market.

ETF flows have been volatile, with more than US$6 billion exiting spot Bitcoin funds since November, according to industry data.

Despite the slump, Goldman has also expanded into Ethereum, XRP, and Solana ETFs.
