Coinbase May Drop Support for CLARITY Act Over Stablecoin Conflicts
Coinbase, one of the largest U.S.-based crypto exchanges, may withdraw its support for the CLARITY Act if the bill imposes restrictions on stablecoin reward programs, according to a Bloomberg report.
The warning comes as Congress prepares to mark up the legislation in the Senate this week, setting up a potential clash between regulators and one of crypto’s most prominent companies.
For Coinbase, stablecoin rewards are not a minor perk — they are a core part of its revenue model. The exchange shares in interest income generated from reserves backing USD Coin (USDC), the widely used stablecoin issued by Circle, in which Coinbase owns a minority stake. Part of that income is used to offer incentives to users, including roughly 3.5% rewards for Coinbase One customers.
These programs encourage users to keep USDC on the platform, creating a predictable revenue stream even when trading
