White House Meets Crypto and Banking Leaders to Resolve Stablecoin Rules in Crypto Bill

• White House to hold talks with crypto firms and banks to fix stablecoin rule disputes, delaying a key crypto bill.
• Banks oppose stablecoin rewards over deposit risks, while crypto firms say they help users.

The White House is planning a high-level meeting with the executives from the major crypto companies and traditional banks to break the disagreement over the U.S. crypto market structure bill. The bill is meant to set long-term rules for the digital assets operating in the U.S. This bill is delayed mainly because of the disagreements around stablecoins.

The Reason behind the Crypto Bill delay

The lawmakers delayed the vote due to how Stablecoins should be regulated. Whether the exchanges should be allowed to offer Interest, yield, and Rewards to users holding dollar-pegged stablecoins. This issue has become a major backlog for the bill to move forward. 

Traditional banks argue that the Stablecoin rewards could pull deposits away from the banks, and yield-bearing stablecoins resemble unregulated savings accounts. They say that this could weaken the banking system by reducing deposits, and because of this, banks have lobbied lawmakers from both parties to restrict these features. 

Crypto companies counter that the stablecoin rewards benefit consumers, and they offer better returns and efficiency than traditional banking products. They argue that properly regulated rewards can exist without threatening financial stability. 

Who will be involved in White House’s meeting

The White House is stepping in, and the meeting is organized by the White House’s Crypto Policy Council, which includes officials from the National Economic Council, U.S. Treasury, and other federal agencies. The goal of the meeting is to hear the direct feedback from both sides and to compromise that allows the bill to move forward. 

Several major crypto trade groups confirmed that they will attend the meeting. Summer Mersinger, CEO of the Blockchain Association, said that it would take part and thanked the White House officials. The Crypto Council for Innovation also confirmed its participation in the meeting. 

According to the industry leaders, this is the chance for the congress to establish clear rules and allow responsible crypto innovations that can protect the consumers. Without resolution, the U.S. risks regulatory paralysis and innovation moving overseas. This meeting signals that the White House is seeing crypto regulation as too important to stall, and stablecoins are now viewed as systematically important financial tools.
