The White House Council of Economic Advisers released a formal analysis on Tuesday, concluding that allowing stablecoin issuers to pay investors a yield on their holdings would produce only marginal displacement of bank lending, directly contradicting warnings from the banking industry that have stalled the CLARITY Act in the Senate Banking Committee since January 2026.
