The Senate is approaching a cloture vote on the CLARITY Act, and a key outstanding dispute is whether banks' preferred language permitting yield on stablecoins will survive the floor process. Lawmakers are actively negotiating whether to include, modify, or strip that provision before final passage, leaving the regulatory contour of yield-bearing stablecoins unresolved at a critical juncture.
Armada's crypto repo desk should treat this as a live policy risk. If CLARITY passes without bank-friendly yield language, yield-bearing stablecoins and tokenized T-Bill instruments used as collateral could face ambiguous legal status. Family office and market-maker counterparties using such instruments need to know Armada's collateral policy response to whichever version clears.
