Circle's shares dropped 22%, their worst day ever, after a new version of the Clarity Act proposed banning stablecoin issuers from paying yield just for holding assets like USDC. This yield, similar to bank interest, is a key incentive for users. The bill might still allow rewards for activities like payments or trading. The move also impacted Coinbase shares, down 11%, as it distributes USDC. Meanwhile, competitor Tether hired a major auditor to review its reserves amid transparency concerns. Circle's USDC is seen as more institutional-grade due to regular audits, making this legislation significant for stablecoin markets.
