This week, Congress has a rare opportunity to move forward on key legislation that could shape the future of stablecoins and digital asset markets. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong is calling on the Senate to begin debate on the GENIUS Act, a bill aimed at establishing clear rules for stablecoin issuers.

But the report also points out how this growth could affect traditional banks. Since a lot of stablecoins are backed by short-term U.S. government debt, if demand for those securities goes up, it could pull deposits away from banks, especially when those assets are earning interest.
Stablecoins could be a threat to bank liquidity because they are so easy to use. Banks might have to do one of two things in response: raise deposit rates or find new ways to stay competitive.

With the August recess coming up, there is not a lot of time. Lawmakers in both chambers are being asked to act quickly to pass stablecoin legislation that brings much-needed clarity, protects consumers and keeps the U.S. at the forefront of digital finance.
