Asset managers bypass stablecoin yield ban
The speakers argued that the Clarity Act's proposed ban on passive yield makes traditional banks a major loser while positioning asset managers to dominate via tokenized money market funds.
The argument
Under the stablecoin compromise, passive yield is banned but activity-based rewards are permitted. The guest argued that asset managers can bypass this restriction by wrapping tokenized money market funds into stablecoins that legally must pay interest, leaving banks unable to compete for these deposits.
The thesis, stress-tested
✓ What validates it
- ✓Passage of the Clarity Act by the US Senate
- ✓Launch of wrapped tokenized money market stablecoins by major asset managers
▸ Risks discussed
- ▸Political and ethical hurdles in Congress could still stall the bill
- ▸Regulatory definitions of activity-based rewards remain untested and subject to SEC interpretation
Hear it yourself
"I still feel like we're we're kinda heading towards the end of this. And when I say the end of it, I don't mean the end of actions. I mean I mean, when this geopolitical event will reach a certain piece, like, will reach stasis where it kinda gets relegated to the back and the markets will take over again. So, generally, lots going on. Crypto feels very, very constructive again. I say this every week now, I feel, and and it does continue to feel constructive. But, yeah, let's go over to Robin and love your take there, Austin. Yeah. I agree with, what Chris is saying."
