And banks are fighting to keep that gate closed.<\/p>\n<p>The banking sector and institutions like JPMorgan argue that allowing stablecoins to offer high yields without being subject to bank-level regulation creates an uneven playing field. Their primary fear is something called \u201cdeposit flight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you could keep your cash in a digital wallet earning 5% interest, completely liquid and usable 24\/7, would you keep it in a Wells Fargo checking account earning 0%? Probably not. Banks estimate that allowing this could drain trillions of dollars from traditional deposits. Without those cheap deposits, the banking business model of lending out your money for profit takes a massive hit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCOVER:\u00a0<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/bitcoin\/buy-bitcoin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Best Places to Buy Bitcoin Now<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>What Eric Trump Actually Said: Is World Liberty Financial (WLFI) A Conflict Of Interest?<\/h2>\n<p>Eric Trump didn\u2019t mince words, calling the banking lobby \u201canti-retail, anti-consumer, and straight-up anti-American.\u201d He highlighted the massive spread between what banks earn from the Fed and what they pay customers, accusing them of protecting a \u201clow-rate monopoly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, it is impossible to ignore the elephant in the room: World Liberty Financial (WLFI). Eric Trump is a co-founder of this crypto platform, which issues its own stablecoin, USD1. If the rules change to favor stablecoin yields, the Trump family business stands to profit directly.<\/p>\n<p>This political battle has real consequences for anyone holding digital assets. If the banking lobby wins, stablecoins will likely remain \u201cutilitarian,\u201d useful for trading or sending money, but not for generating passive income.<\/p>\n<p>If the pro-crypto side wins, we could see a new era of \u201cyield-bearing stablecoins.\u201d This means your idle cash on exchanges or in wallets could automatically generate 4-5% APY, similar to a high-yield savings account but on the blockchain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCOVER:\u00a0<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/best-crypto-presales\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Top Crypto Presales to Watch in 2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow 99Bitcoins on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/99BitcoinsHQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">X<\/a> For the Latest Market Updates and Subscribe on <a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/@99bitcoins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">YouTube<\/a> For Daily Expert Market Analysis.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways\">\n<h2 class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__title\">Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list\">\n<li class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list-item\">Banks want to block stablecoins from paying interest to protect their own low-interest deposit monopoly.<\/li>\n<li class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list-item\">Banks earn ~3.65% from the Fed but pay savers ~0.01%; stablecoins want to pass that yield to you.<\/li>\n<li class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list-item\">Eric Trump\u2019s criticism aligns with retail interests, but also benefits his family\u2019s new World Liberty Financial crypto project.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/news\/altcoins\/eric-trump-slams-banks-stablecoin-rules\/\">Eric Trump Slams Banks Over Stablecoin Rules: \u201cBanks Should Not Be Trying To Undercut The Genius Act\u201d<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/\">99Bitcoins<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 4 March 2026, Eric Trump launched a blistering attack on America\u2019s biggest banks, accusing institutions like JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo of acting in an \u201canti-American\u201d manner to protect their profits.
