Cryptocurrency companies can keep paying interest-like rewards: Bank regulators

Federal regulators allowed crypto companies to continue paying interest-like rewards to customers, despite bank concerns. Stablecoin issuers like Circle cannot pay interest, but exchanges like Coinbase can share earnings. Banks warn this could lead to deposit flight, reducing lending capacity.

Cryptocurrency companies can keep paying interest-like rewards, say federal bank regulators

Federal regulators allowed crypto companies to continue offering interest-like rewards, per new rules under the GENIUS Act. Stablecoin issuers like Circle cannot pay interest, but exchanges like Coinbase and Robinhood can. Banks oppose this, fearing deposit flight due to higher yields (e.g., Coinbase offers 3.5% vs. 0.38% average savings rate). The OCC will evaluate this on a case-by-case basis.
