The White House has escalated its criticism of traditional banks opposing yield-bearing stablecoins under the proposed CLARITY Act. Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the White House Presidential Advisory Committee on Digital Assets, accused financial institutions of acting out of "greed or ignorance" in their lobbying efforts. "Move on," he declared, signaling dwindling patience with Wall Street's resistance.

A bipartisan compromise led by Tillis-Alsobrooks seeks to ban passive stablecoin yields while permitting activity-based rewards—a middle ground now facing renewed banking industry pushback. Unnamed trade associations claim even this limited framework threatens traditional finance structures.

The confrontation highlights deepening fractures in the $320 billion stablecoin market's regulatory future. Despite year-long White House mediation efforts, the standoff persists as crypto innovators and legacy institutions remain at odds over financial system evolution.
