On March 26, the Cryptocurrency Market Structure Clarity Act (known as the CLARITY Act) hit another snag—this time facing pushback from Coinbase. Coinbase representatives this week raised concerns in Senate offices, noting they do not support the latest version of the bill. The exchange’s key objection centers on the legislation’s “Stable Yield Provision”—not its first pushback on stablecoin yield rules.

U.S. President Donald Trump and his political allies have signaled openness to negotiations. While Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated Wednesday night that Iran is not interested in talks, Arab mediators say Tehran is more open to dialogue in private and is currently weighing proposals from various parties to set conditions that could bring both sides to the table.
