Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong recently told Congress that the banking industry is creating a "false threat" by objecting to cryptocurrency exchanges offering stablecoin rewards on the grounds of systemic risk. Coinbase currently offers a 4.1% reward to USDC holders, and the banking industry is concerned that this could lead to a large number of deposits flowing to stablecoins. The US Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee estimates that up to $6.60 trillion of deposits could be switched to stablecoins.
Senator Cynthia Loomis, Republican of Wyoming, said the issue had been addressed in the GENIUS bill and should not be revisited.
