Representatives from crypto and banking groups returned to the White House on Thursday in another attempt to resolve the key dispute holding up the long\u2011awaited crypto market structure legislation known as the CLARITY Act.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite the Senate Banking Committee\u2019s positive vote on its part of the legislation, the bill has already faced delays and is now stalled due to disagreements about whether stablecoin issuers and platforms should be allowed to offer yield or rewards to users.<\/p>\n

Coinbase, Ripple Signal Progress<\/h2>\n

At the center of the debate is a push from some senators and banking industry representatives to include language in the legislation that would prohibit companies from paying customers rewards for holding stablecoins on their platforms.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some crypto advocates remain hopeful that lawmakers may draw a distinction between yield for holding stablecoins and rewards for using them, similar to the incentive programs long offered by credit card companies. They argue that usage\u2011based rewards should be treated differently from interest payments.<\/p>\n

Following Thursday\u2019s meeting, Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal described <\/a>the discussions as productive. \u201cThe dialogue was constructive and the tone cooperative. More to come,\u201d Grewal wrote in a post on X.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ripple\u2019s Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, echoed that sentiment, saying <\/a>on social media that participants worked through specific legislative language and that discussions would continue in the coming days. \u201cLet\u2019s get this right and make the US the crypto capital of the world!\u201d Alderoty wrote.<\/p>\n

90% Chance Crypto Bill Passes By April\u00a0<\/h2>\n

The renewed negotiations come shortly after Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse expressed growing confidence that the bill will advance. Garlinghouse said <\/a>he now believes there is a 90% chance the legislation will pass by the end of April.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI had said a couple weeks ago, I thought end of April \u2014 at the time, people thought that was a little optimistic,\u201d he noted, referencing the meeting at the White House involving leaders from both the crypto and banking sectors.<\/p>\n

The White House has set a March 1 deadline for resolving the dispute over stablecoin rewards, adding urgency to the talks. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reinforced that timeline last week, urging Congress to move forward with the legislation this spring.<\/p>\n
