Letters to Senators Regarding the Clarity Act's 'Circuit Breaker' Amendment
ICBA sent a letter to senators expressing ongoing concerns with Section 10404 of the Clarity Act, particularly any proposed “regulatory circuit breaker” amendment. ICBA said the regulatory circuit breaker fails to address concerns over the Section 10404 prohibition on stablecoin payment of interest, yield and rewards, adding that Section 10404 must be strengthened to preserve community financial institution deposits and local lending to small businesses, farmers, and families.
