Crypto-Backed Super PAC Launches Midterm Election Endorsements Push

A crypto-aligned super PAC named Fellowship PAC, chaired by Tether's head of government affairs Jesse Spiro, has launched its 2026 midterm election push with over $100 million to spend. Its first action was a $300,000 ad buy supporting a Republican candidate in a Georgia congressional race. The PAC has also endorsed several other Republican candidates in key Senate and gubernatorial races across five states. This strategy mirrors previous crypto-backed efforts, like the Fairshake PAC, which spent heavily in the 2024 cycle. Meanwhile, major crypto legislation, the CLARITY Act, remains stalled in the Senate.

Crypto Traders On Alert: Is CLARITY The Last Chance To Protect Stablecoin Yield?

A U.S. Senator is preparing to release a compromise draft of the CLARITY Act to resolve the ongoing dispute over stablecoin yields. The key issue is whether crypto firms can pay interest on idle stablecoin holdings, which banks oppose as it competes with traditional deposits. The draft aims to distinguish between prohibited passive yield and permitted activity-based rewards. This legislation will significantly impact stablecoin yields, liquidity, and where traders hold their capital, potentially affecting competition with foreign digital currencies and offshore platforms.

The White House Did the Math: How Much More Could Banks Lend If Stablecoin Interest Is Banned?

The White House Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) refuted a previous claim that interest-bearing stablecoins could reduce bank lending by $1.5 trillion, estimating the actual impact at just $2.1 billion—nearly 700 times smaller. The key argument centers on where stablecoin reserves are allocated. Most major issuers, like Tether and Circle, hold the majority of reserves in U.S. Treasuries and repurchase agreements, not bank deposits. Only a small portion (around 12% for USDC) is held in bank deposits subject to 100% reserve requirements—the only scenario that meaningfully reduces bank lending capacity. Even if a ban on stablecoin interest payments drove an estimated $54.4 billion back to banks, only 12% of that would affect lending capacity. After accounting for reserve requirements and banks’ existing excess liquidity, the net increase in lending would be minimal. The report also highlights negative side effects: an $800 million annual welfare loss for stablecoin holders and potential reduced foreign demand for U.S. Treasuries, which could raise borrowing costs. The cost-benefit ratio of an interest ban is estimated at 6.6, making it an inefficient policy with clear costs and uncertain benefits.

‘Last Chance’: US Crypto Policy Hits Critical Deadline, Senator Says

US Senator Cynthia Lummis has warned that the current legislative session is the "last chance until at least 2030" to pass the CLARITY Act, a key piece of market-structure legislation for digital assets. The bill, which aims to provide clear regulatory rules for the crypto industry, faces a critical deadline as November midterm elections threaten to shift congressional priorities. Industry leaders, including Coinbase's Paul Grewal and Brian Armstrong, and a16z Crypto's Chris Dixon, are pushing for its passage, arguing that regulatory clarity will boost innovation and consumer protection. However, a major obstacle remains: a dispute over how to handle stablecoin yield. Despite growing support from companies and some regulators, this unresolved issue could prevent the bill from advancing. The act is seen as a test of Washington's ability to establish crypto regulations before the political window closes.

Crypto Market Structure Bill Enters Crucial Stage, Coinbase CEO Says “It’s Time”

The crypto market structure bill, specifically the CLARITY Act, is entering a crucial stage in the US legislative process. US legislators are set to return to Capitol Hill next week with the goal of passing the bill before the end of the month. The bill has been a major focus this year, though it has been stalled in the Senate Banking Committee due to debates over stablecoin rewards, tokenized equities, and other crypto-related issues. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent published an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, urging Congress to pass the CLARITY Act to maintain US leadership in financial market regulation. He emphasized the need for clear rules and adaptation to innovation. In a follow-up post on social media, he called for the Senate Banking Committee to send the bill to President Trump’s desk. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong endorsed the Treasury Secretary’s stance, expressing gratitude for bipartisan efforts and stating that it is time for the bill to pass. This marks a shift from his company’s earlier threat to withdraw support for the legislation "as written." A White House study found that stablecoin rewards, a primary concern, are unlikely to significantly impact bank lending or credit markets.

CFTC launches innovation task force as crypto policy push accelerates

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has established an Innovation Task Force (ITF), led by Michael J. Passalacqua, to develop regulatory approaches for emerging technologies including crypto assets, artificial intelligence, and prediction markets. This initiative aims to provide clearer rules as these sectors evolve, though the task force itself does not have rulemaking authority. The move reflects a shift from reactive oversight to proactive preparation, aligning with broader U.S. policy momentum, including legislative efforts like the CLARITY Act, to create a defined regulatory framework for digital assets and related technologies.

Trump Memecoin Event Fine Print Says He May Not Show Up — Senators Want Answers

Buried in the terms of the Official Trump memecoin website is a disclaimer stating that former President Trump "may not be able to attend" a scheduled luncheon on April 25 and that the event could be canceled for any reason. Despite this, organizers are aggressively promoting the event around his potential appearance. Three Democratic senators—Elizabeth Warren, Richard Blumenthal, and Adam Schiff—sent a letter to the event's organizer, Bill Zanker, demanding clarity on whether Trump plans to attend. They accuse organizers of using Trump's name to drive purchases of the memecoin, which generates transaction fees for Trump and his family. The situation is complicated by a scheduling conflict, as Trump had previously announced he would attend the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, DC, on the same day. This controversy raises broader questions about tying access to the president to a financial product from which he benefits.

SEC Chair Presses Congress On Crypto Market Structure, Wants Bill To Reach President’s Desk

SEC Chair Paul S. Atkins urged Congress to pass the CLARITY Act, which aims to establish a clear regulatory framework for crypto markets in the U.S. He emphasized the need to move away from "regulation by enforcement" and enable coordinated oversight by the SEC and CFTC. His comments follow similar calls from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who warned that the U.S. risks losing its leadership in financial innovation without such legislation. The push comes amid ongoing disputes between banks and crypto firms over provisions in the already-passed stablecoin bill (GENIUS Act), particularly regarding restrictions on interest payments for stablecoin holders. Despite bipartisan efforts, no compromise has been reached.

Treasury, CFTC ramp up pressure on Congress to pass CLARITY Act

Senior U.S. Treasury and CFTC officials are increasing public pressure on Congress to advance the long-stalled CLARITY Act, signaling a coordinated push from the executive branch to move crypto legislation forward. Officials emphasized urgency, framing the bill as essential for providing regulatory clarity and future-proofing digital asset markets. The push comes shortly after a White House report challenged a key point of contention—whether stablecoin issuers should be allowed to offer yield—by concluding that a ban would have minimal impact on bank lending but reduce consumer welfare. The CLARITY Act aims to define market structure, jurisdictional boundaries, and oversight roles, but has been delayed due to debates between traditional finance and crypto industry interests. While executive agencies are shaping the narrative, Congress holds the key to turning policy alignment into law. The renewed pressure suggests the push for a unified crypto regulatory framework may be entering a more decisive phase.

Not A Threat: Stablecoin Yield Won’t Harm Banks, White House Economists Say

In a positive development for crypto, a White House economic study by the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) concludes that prohibiting stablecoin yield would have a negligible impact on bank lending, particularly for community banks. The study, addressing a key debate around bills like the GENIUS Act, found that eliminating yield would boost overall bank lending by only $2.1 billion, a mere 0.02% increase. Even under worst-case assumptions requiring implausible conditions like a sixfold growth in stablecoins, the increase would be moderate. The report contradicts banking industry claims that yield-bearing stablecoins could trigger massive deposit flight, arguing a yield prohibition would do little to protect lending while denying consumers competitive returns. It also highlights that regulatory uncertainty harms banks more than the crypto industry, as it prevents investment in new technology.
