《CLARITY Bill》scheduled for an April vote; passive income from stablecoins prohibited from being swapped into DeFi — DeFi disclaimer

The U.S. Senate will consider the “Digital Asset Market Transparency Act” (CLARITY Act). The bill’s biggest concession is a comprehensive ban on earning passive income from stablecoins, but it will provide activity-based incentives to make up for it.

If the bill is not passed before May, it may be pushed back to 2026. This bill is important for clarifying crypto market regulation and, at the same time, it will affect how stablecoins are positioned.
