Who Controls the Profit Rights of Digital Dollars? The Wall Street vs. Crypto Capital Game Behind the CLARITY Act

The CLARITY Act represents a pivotal U.S. legislative effort to regulate digital assets, moving beyond the infrastructure-focused GENIUS Act. It aims to end "regulation by enforcement" by granting the CFTC exclusive jurisdiction over digital commodities and the SEC over investment contracts. A major conflict emerged in the Senate over "yield-bearing stablecoins." Traditional banks, fearing massive deposit outflows and damage to their net interest margins, lobbied for a total ban on third-party stablecoin yields. The crypto industry, led by Coinbase, argued this would stifle innovation, deprive users of rightful earnings from underlying assets like Treasuries, and drive capital offshore. The debate reached a stalemate in early 2026, stalling the bill's progress. White House mediation set a March 1 deadline for a compromise. A proposed solution, the "Digital Markets Restructure Act," introduced a "Yield Neutrality" principle, decoupling yield rights from bank charters, and a "Residual-Risk Assessment Model" to regulate based on actual risk (enterprise, exposure, market) rather than outdated classifications. The outcome will profoundly impact the U.S. financial system: potentially deepening demand for U.S. Treasuries, lowering government borrowing costs, and extending dollar hegemony digitally. It forces traditional banks to digitize and could cause a major schism in DeFi, pushing compliant players toward institutionalization and smaller, non-compliant protocols offshore. The act ultimately decides who controls the profits of the digital dollar.

The Economist: In Asia, Stablecoins Are Becoming the New Financial Infrastructure

Stablecoins are rapidly emerging as a new financial infrastructure across Asia, driven by real-world needs for efficient and low-cost transactions. Despite cautious or strict regulatory stances in countries like India, cryptocurrency adoption continues to thrive. India, which imposes heavy taxes and transaction fees, still leads the global crypto adoption index, with inflows reaching approximately $338 billion from mid-2024 to 2025. A key application is cross-border remittances. With 24 million migrant workers in Southeast Asia, traditional remittance fees averaging 6.5% per $200 transfer pose a significant burden. Stablecoins, unlike volatile cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, offer a stable, fast, and accessible alternative. From January to July last year, global stablecoin transfers exceeded $4 trillion. Businesses are also adopting stablecoins to streamline payments, reducing intermediaries, delays, and costs. Monthly stablecoin transactions between enterprises surged from under $100 million in early 2023 to over $6 billion by mid-2025. Additionally, Asia’s vast gig economy—over 210 million workers—benefits from instant salary settlements via stablecoins, bypassing traditional banking delays. However, the same features that benefit legitimate transactions—speed, low cost, and accessibility—also risk being exploited for illicit activities. The future of stablecoins in Asia will depend on how effectively regulators balance innovation with oversight. Success could reshape global finance; failure may leave crypto with a practical—but illegal—use case.
