How Do Stablecoins Touch the Most Profitable Nerve of Banks?

U.S. banks are fiercely opposing interest-bearing stablecoins, not because they cause deposit outflows, but because they threaten the core profitability of large commercial banks. When funds flow into stablecoins like USDC, the money eventually returns to the banking system as reserves held in cash or short-term liquid assets. The real concern is the total amount of deposits, but a shift in deposit structure. Large U.S. banks rely heavily on "low-rate banking," where they hold massive amounts of non-interest or ultra-low-interest transaction deposits (used for payments, transfers, and settlements). These deposits are extremely cheap for banks, costing only 0-11 basis points in interest, while the Fed funds rate is 3.5%-3.75%. This spread, along with transaction fees, generates over $360 billion in annual revenue for banks. Interest-bearing stablecoins directly compete with these transaction deposits. If stablecoins offer yield, users may move funds from traditional bank transaction accounts into stablecoins for both utility and returns. Although the money remains in the banking system, stablecoin issuers would likely place most reserves in higher-yielding non-transaction accounts, forcing banks to pay market rates for these funds. This erodes banks' profit margins and reduces their fee income from payment services. The battle over the CLARITY法案 revolves around this profit redistribution. Banks want to ban all forms of yield on stablecoins to protect their lucrative low-cost deposit base and dominant position in the payment ecosystem.

Why Must Banks Ban Stablecoin Yields?

The article "Why Banks Are Determined to Ban Yield-Bearing Stablecoins?" explores the ongoing debate around the U.S. cryptocurrency market structure bill (CLARITY), particularly the fierce opposition from large banks against interest-bearing stablecoins. Banks argue that such stablecoins could cause deposit outflows, but the author refutes this, explaining that funds used to purchase stablecoins like USDC ultimately flow back into the banking system as reserves held by issuers like Circle. The real concern for banks is not the total volume of deposits but a shift in deposit structure. U.S. major banks (e.g., Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase) rely heavily on "low-interest banking," where transaction deposits (used for payments, transfers) pay near-zero interest, creating a significant spread between deposit rates and the Fed’s benchmark rate. This model generates massive profits—over $360 billion annually from interest differentials and transaction fees. Stablecoins directly compete with transaction deposits by offering similar utility (payments, settlements). If stablecoins can generate yield, users may shift funds from bank transaction accounts to stablecoins to earn higher returns. While the money remains in the banking system (as stablecoin reserves), it moves from low-cost transaction deposits to higher-yield instruments, squeezing bank profit margins and reducing fee income. Thus, banks oppose yield-bearing stablecoins to protect their lucrative low-cost deposit base and maintain control over profit distribution, making it a central issue in the CLARITY legislative battle.
