- Attendees include Chief Legal Officers from Ripple and Coinbase, along with representatives from banks and crypto trade groups.
- Banks are advocating for a ban on stablecoin rewards, which would restrict firms like Coinbase from offering user yields.
- The Digital Chamber proposed exemptions to this ban for activities such as liquidity provision and staking.
- Senator Bernie Moreno indicated that the crypto bill could pass by April, although no markup schedule is set.
- Current odds of the CLARITY Act passing this year have fluctuated from a peak of 90% to about 71% recently.
