Circle Internet Group (CRCL) shares surged over 18% following a bipartisan agreement on the CLARITY Act that resolves the stablecoin yield issue by banning passive yields but allowing rewards for active users. This breakthrough ended months of legislative deadlock, with Circle's Chief Strategy Officer endorsing the deal.
