The Clear Act is advancing, promising benefits for stablecoins, tokenization, and DeFi by mid-year, but it restricts passive interest earning on stablecoins, creating uncertainty in the on-chain landscape. The Act aims to narrow arbitrage opportunities for offshore dollar stablecoins like USDT by experimenting with a new model of dollar circulation.
Wall Street giants are positioning themselves in tokenization, with BlackRock and JPMorgan launching new tokenized money market funds (TMMFs) to meet stablecoin issuer demand. The Genius Act clarifies tokenization provisions, allowing tokenized U.S. Treasuries and dollars as stablecoin reserves. Stablecoin issuers are prompted to build reserves or purchase RWA assets like TMMFs, aligning with user habits of on-chain profit sharing and real-time interest accrual.
The Clear Act's restrictions on interest-bearing stablecoins drive stablecoin issuers to rely on U.S. Treasury products for yield. This regulatory environment fosters a market where stablecoins are used primarily for payments, with interest generation tied to U.S. Treasuries, promoting USD circulation and demand. The Act's ultimate goal is to create global demand for the U.S. dollar through stablecoin issuance and interest generation linked to U.S. Treasuries.
