U.S. Community Banks Push to Close GENIUS Act Stablecoin “Yield Loophole”
Haber Özeti
U.S. community banks are urging lawmakers to close a perceived “loophole” in the GENIUS Act that allows crypto exchanges to offer yield on stablecoins, arguing it creates unfair competition with traditional banks and could accelerate deposit outflows.
Summary
U.S. community banks are urging lawmakers to close a perceived “loophole” in the GENIUS Act that allows crypto exchanges to offer yield on stablecoins, arguing it creates unfair competition with traditional banks and could accelerate deposit outflows.
What Banks Are Objecting To
- Stablecoin yield products offered by exchanges
- Ability to provide interest‑like returns without being banks
- Potential for consumers to treat yield‑bearing stablecoins as deposit substitutes
Banks argue this activity looks economically similar to deposits but operates outside the full banking regulatory framework.
Why This Matters
- Competitive pressure: Yield‑bearing stablecoins can attract funds away from community banks
- Regulatory boundary debate: Where to draw the line between payments, securities, and banking
- Policy precedent: How this issue is resolved could shape the future of on‑chain finance in the U.S.
At stake is whether stablecoin issuers and exchanges can compete on yield without bank charters.
The Counterargument
Crypto advocates contend that:
- Stablecoin yields often come from market activity or reserves, not lending deposits
- Users are not guaranteed principal the same way bank deposits are
- Innovation should not be constrained to protect incumbents
They argue consumer disclosure—not prohibition—is the right approach.
Broader Implications
- Could influence final GENIUS Act language
- May determine whether stablecoins evolve into cash‑like instruments or yield‑bearing financial products
- Signals rising tension as crypto competes directly with traditional banking services
Bottom Line
Community banks’ push to close the GENIUS Act’s stablecoin yield “loophole” highlights a core conflict: stablecoins are starting to compete with bank deposits. How lawmakers respond will shape whether yield remains a feature of U.S.‑regulated stablecoins—or is pushed back into the traditional banking system.

ASML Shares Soar After Morgan Stanley Upgrade
The post ASML Shares Soar After Morgan Stanley Upgrade appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Morgan Stanley has upgraded ASML Holding NV to “Overweight” from “Equal-weight,” citing a favorable shift in the semiconductor industry driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and a cyclical recovery. The bank raised its price target for the Dutch chip equipment maker to €950 from €600, implying a potential 20% upside from its last closing price. Following the upgrade, ASML shares surged on Monday. According to UBS Group AG and Arete Research reports, Morgan Stanley, an American multinational investment bank and financial services firm, secured third position among firms to upgrade ASML’s stock in a month. Following the strong support system, reports dated September 22 revealed that ASML’s stock increased by up to 3.7%, reflecting a 33% increase, the highest record this year, compared to September 2, which recorded a low point. As a result of its tremendous success, ASML solidified its position as Europe’s largest publicly traded firm this month. This was after its valuation had skyrocketed to €322 billion, worth $379 billion, outperforming that of software company SAP SE and luxury brand LVMH. ASML’s strong support system vows to take its stock price to the highest level ever Nigel van Putten, Equity Research Analyst at Morgan Stanley, and Lee Simpson, Managing Director and Senior Equity Analyst at the firm, weighed in on the topic. In a note, they highlighted several growth opportunities extending into 2027, citing their decision to upgrade ASML to an “overweight” rating as an example. The analysts also projected that logic and memory chip maker advances will strengthen ASML’s business, positioning the company for gains over the next two years. Meanwhile, the Dutch chip giant’s upgrade has occurred swiftly, as reports reveal that recently, the firm that produces advanced chip equipment had encountered hardship in securing considerable gains from the demand for AI. Coincidentally, the upgrades from…
