In a social media post, President Trump openly criticized banks for obstructing his crypto agenda, aligning himself with crypto firms in a dispute over stablecoin yields.
In a social media post, President Trump criticized the banking industry, accusing it of undermining his crypto agenda, and called for progress on the Clarity Act.
“The Genius Act is being threatened and undermined by the Banks, and that is unacceptable — We are not going to allow it. The U.S. needs to get Market Structure done, ASAP. Americans should earn more money on their money,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“The Banks should not be trying to undercut The Genius Act, or hold The Clarity Act hostage,” he added.
The GENIUS Act prohibits stablecoin issuers from paying interest directly to holders but permits third-party platforms to distribute yield to users, a measure designed to enhance transparency and regulatory compliance.
Despite hosting White House meetings between crypto firms and banks to negotiate stablecoin yields, banks have shown resistance. Trump’s efforts to mediate a compromise have yet to yield results, as reported by CNBC.
Stablecoin yields have become a focal point of regulatory scrutiny, with significant implications for traditional banking and financial stability.
The ongoing conflict between banks and crypto firms represents a broader debate over the future of financial regulation in the U.S. and could redefine America’s role in global crypto leadership.
