Сенат отложил принятие Закона о ясности, оставив перемирие в отношении доходности криптовалют с банками в подвешенном состоянии
The U.S. Senate has delayed consideration of the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21), stalling a key truce between the crypto industry and banking lobby. This agreement, part of the legislation, would prohibit stablecoin issuers from offering interest-like returns for simply holding tokens, aiming to protect bank deposits. The delay stems from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer prioritizing other matters, including Russia sanctions legislation and the funeral of the late Senator Lindsey Graham. Further complications arise from unresolved disputes over an ethics provision that would restrict officials, including former President Trump, from crypto industry ties, with Democrats seeking stronger terms.
The extensive 616-page bill, merging proposals from banking and agriculture committees, faces a steep climb, requiring 60 votes for passage. Key Democratic Senators and progressive groups have criticized the current version, while state officials like New York Attorney General Letitia James argue it would limit their ability to police crypto fraud. If the bill fails to pass before the August recess, the next opportunity would be in September.
Market observers note the delay keeps institutional crypto adoption on hold. While the already-passed FIT21 Act provides some framework, comprehensive federal rules for payment stablecoins are seen as crucial for deeper Wall Street involvement. Analysts like Galaxy's Alex Thorn suggest the bill's chances are diminishing as the Senate calendar shortens, though he still estimates roughly even odds for passage this year. Even if the Senate passes it, the bill would still need approval from a divided House and the President.
