US lawmakers and the White House announced an 'agreement in principle' regarding stablecoin yield mechanisms, marking significant progress toward breaking the months-long deadlock surrounding the CLARITY Act. The compromise deal may ban passive interest while allowing rewards for active transactions to protect traditional banks from deposit flight concerns. Senator Thom Tillis and Angela Alsobrooks, along with White House officials, worked to balance innovation fostering with financial system protection. The agreement could unblock legislative processes for one of the most critical crypto bills, with potential ripple effects across digital asset markets including NFTs. The deal still requires vetting with industry stakeholders but represents the closest approach to consensus on the primary bottleneck stalling the bill.
