The long-awaited stablecoin yield compromise for the CLARITY Act, a critical legislation under US cryptocurrency regulations, has been clarified. According to text obtained by Punchbowl News, Senators Thom Tillis and Angela Alsobrooks have reached a comprehensive agreement on stablecoin yields. The agreement imposes significant limitations on the rewards and returns offered to stablecoins. Accordingly, all reward mechanisms deemed “economically or functionally equivalent” to bank deposit interest will be prohibited.

David Schwartz has been making the same point since 2017, and most people still get it wrong. The Ripple CTO recently revisited a post he wrote years ago, addressing something that trips up a lot of $XRP holders: the idea that a lower token price is better for payments.

Different efficiency. “The higher the price of $XRP, the cheaper it is to use for payments,” he…

In brief Bitcoin posted its worst quarterly performance since 2018, falling about 22%. The cryptocurrency outperformed equities and gold after the Iran war outbreak. Analysts point to Fed policy and a resolution to the Middle East conflict as key Q2 catalysts. Bitcoin closed the first quarter of 2026 with its worst performance since early 2018, shedding nearly a quarter of its value as war, tariffs, and a hawkish Federal Reserve battered risk assets. The cryptocurrency fell from around $95,000 in February to roughly $66,700 by quarter’s end, a decline of about 22% year-to-date, according to a report from institutional trading…
